TRI-SCHOOL THEATRE CONSERVATORY 

Tri-School Theatre was born out of a vision to create a theatre arts training program for students attending the three Catholic, single-sex high schools in North Orange County: Cornelia Connelly School and Servite High School in Anaheim, and Rosary High School in Fullerton.  Since its inception in 1 988, the program has grown into a four year Performing Arts Conservatory which now includes training in Musical Theatre, Acting, Movement, Shakespeare, Improvisation, Technical Theatre, Playwriting, and an Individualized Mentorship Program.  A Charter was developed in 1 994 formally establishing the Tri-School Theatre Program into the curriculum of each of the three participating schools.  The Conservatory operates out of the 980 seat, fully-equipped Servite Theatre, 

In addition to the Conservatory Training Program, Tri-School Theatre produces two main stage shows and two student produced showcases each year featuring original material written by Tri-School Students.  The program has been honored four times with the Music and Arts Commendation for Youth Award (MACY) for the Best High School Musical in Orange County... in 1 992 for its production of 8rigodoon, in 1 994 for Into the Woods, in 1 996 for Fiddler on the Roof, and again in 1 997 for The Secret Garden.  The Conservatory received the Teatro Del Arte Award for Artistic Excellence for the 1 995 production of Carousel.  In 1 998, the MACY organization created the Non-Pareil Award for the Tri-School Theatre production of Children of Eden.

Tri-School Theatre maintains an active membership in the International Thespian Honor Society and attends the California State Festival each year.  Over the years, Tri-School Theatre students have been awarded substantial scholarships from the California State Thespian Organization for college and summer theatre programs.
