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 1988, 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 1994 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.
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.
