In CoSA’s award-winning Musical Theatre & Drama conservatory, students with a passion for performing receive in-depth training in acting, singing and dancing. They also study Theatre History from the Greeks to the present day, Shakespeare, Scene Study (scene analysis), Voice and Diction, Directing, Playwriting, Show Biz and AP Music Theory. Classroom curriculum is complemented by field trips and guest artists.

Students are given multiple opportunities to perform each year: CoSA’s fall and spring musicals draw large audiences from the community and San Diego, as does our winter dramatic play. Students can participate in the Musical Tour Group, where students sing and perform for community groups; REP Company, in which they create, write and direct their own scenes or the comedic, award-winning Improv group. Students are frequently asked to perform at local public and private events. A key component of the conservatory experience is semester jury assessments by faculty and professionals.

To keep the school's six amazing conservatories ongoing, it is crucial that the school raise over $300,000 annually to cover faculty salaries, equipment, special guest instructors and more. Please help support our school so we can continue to provide unparalleled instruction to your favorite performer! Your donation, in any amount, is much appreciated!
