Live theatre can offer the best of both worlds to high school students who are interested in the performing arts and in technical design.

From Footloose to Grease, Macbeth to The Diary of Anne Frank, Tri-School Productions students shine on stage and unleash their creativity by participating in the fall play and the spring musical. There are numerous opportunities to act, sing, dance and help by building sets, sewing costumes, and working on lighting and sound.

Tri-School Productions has become an astonishing, innovative force in high school theater. Tri-School Productions was the first high school program on the Peninsula to showcase Les Miserables, the first in the entire San Francisco Bay Area to be granted rights to Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and the first to stage Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida.

Recent productions of D.W. Gregory’s hard hitting Radium Girls and Kate Hamill’s playful adaptation of Sense and Sensibility explored social justice issues and women’s rights through the eyes of female authors. In the fall of 2019, Tri-School Productions again took a new perspective on a classic when two casts, one male and one female, took on what it means to be human with their epic dramatization of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies.

With an increasing number of students pursuing acting and technical theater as future careers, Tri-School Productions has proven that cooperation and dedication to excellence can result in magic.
