VIEW THE ENTIRE OPEN HOUSE SCHEDULE

Claire Trevor School of the Arts is one of the premier arts campuses in Orange County. The School maintains a vital presence both nationally and in its surrounding community. At any given moment during the year we have alumni working on both sides of the curtain on Broadway, performing with internationally recognized dance companies and musical ensembles, and receiving critical acclaim in major art press for their exhibitions and performances.


Celebrate our Golden Anniversary as we showcase the talents of our current students and faculty during our Annual Open House. The campus will be bustling with art exhibitions, musical concerts, dance performances, dress rehearsals and more in various CTSA venues.


CTSA would also like to extend a special invitation to our alumni to see the changes made to campus during the past five decades, and to preview what the future holds.
