About

Mission Statement

To use theatre arts as a Christ-centered tool for forming empathetic, open-hearted servant leaders who love God, love others, and transform the world through their gifts.

Vision Statement

At Trinitas Arts Conservatory, we believe that the heart of theatre lies in Christ's call: to love God and love others. We honor this call by inviting students to walk in another’s shoes—nonjudgmentally, bravely, and with compassion. In doing so, we cultivate empathy, humility, and kindness, the foundations of both great artistry and authentic discipleship.

Guided by the charisms of Rosary Academy and Servite High School, our program exists not to create stars, but to form servant leaders—young people who use their God-given gifts to build a more loving, open-hearted world. Through the transformative power of storytelling and community, we foster a space where faith and the arts unite to shape students into courageous, empathetic human beings ready to serve others with grace and integrity.

Beginning with Tri-School Theatre in 1989…

Rosary and Servite’s Trinitas Theatre Arts started as Tri-School Theatre in 1989 with a woman who had a vision. Amy Luskey-Barth recognized the need for the arts within the communities of Cornelia Connelly High School, Rosary High School, and Servite High School. For over 30 years, Tri-School Theatre, under the direction of Luskey-Barth and later Hillary Pearson, became known as a prestigious conservatory of the arts, as demonstrated by its talented students and exceptional productions. The program received multiple awards from The MACYs, JRAYs, NYAs, and the Educational Theatre Association, and offered classes for students to develop skills in both the performing and technical arts.

Following the closure of Cornelia Connelly High School, Rosary and Servite looked to the future, honoring the legacy of Tri-School while ensuring that their students continued to receive quality arts education.

In 2020, Tri-School Theatre was rebranded as Trinitas Arts Conservatory, with Frankie Marrone and Robert J. Robertson at the helm. In the Fall of 2022, Michael Betts assumed leadership as the Executive Director/Producer of Trinitas, with Nicole Rickard serving as the Resident Technical Director. Trinitas has been the recipient of multiple awards from the CETAs, Macys, and JRays (including 2025’s Musical Comedy of the Year for Elf: The Musical).

The name "Trinitas," which means "Trinity" in Latin, reflects our Catholic identity and underscores our ongoing mission to develop our students personally, artistically, and spiritually. It also pays homage to the "three" foundational schools, as Tri-School Theatre will always remain the cornerstone of Rosary and Servite’s Theatre Arts program.
