Trinitas Arts Conservatory

Trinitas Arts Conservatory (TAC) is Servite High School and Rosary Academy’s award-winning after-school theatre arts program.

Trinitas, the Latin word for Trinity, not only gives us our Catholic identity but illustrates our continued mission to develop our students personally, artistically, and spiritually. It also gives a nod to “3”, as Tri-School Theatre’s history and students will never be forgotten, but instead remain part of our rich history and our program’s future.

Mission Statement

Building on the legacy of Tri-School Theatre, and striving to focus on the student personally, artistically, and spiritually, Trinitas Arts Conservatory (TAC) is an educational theatre ministry dedicated to arts advocacy in the greater community, nurturing both the artist and the individual, and developing our students’ God-given talents through process-oriented training in a Christ-centered environment.

Philosophy

Through the philosophical, financial, and educational commitment of the administrations of Rosary Academy and Servite High School, Trinitas Arts Conservatory is a model of cooperation and support for the value of arts in education. TAC is committed to nurturing the individual gifts of each student in a community that recognizes that an individual’s talents are a gift from God and are to be shared with others in a spirit of gratitude. Although Trinitas Arts Conservatory strives to maintain the highest standards for performance and production quality, the focus is on the process of educating the student. While studying the skills of acting, musical theatre, movement, vocal technique, improvisation, playwriting, directing, and stagecraft, Trinitas Arts Conservatory students learn life skills such as critical thinking, leadership, and responsibility through discovery, collaboration, and affirmation in a process-oriented, Christ-centered environment.
