Tustin High School’s Tiller Theatricals is dedicated to creating a safe, collaborative learning environment with high-quality education in performing arts. Our aim is to build a community of students that elicit creative self-expression, critical thinking, and artistry through our theatre course offerings and performances. Students will grow and gain confidence as performers, designers, and stage technicians while working together for a common goal: to create art for our school and our community.
It’s the day of the Psych final…and the students are about to be put to the ultimate test. Their teacher is face down on the desk, possibly dead. Before the collapse, she handed out the exam, collected and locked away their phones, and even locked the door. Oh, and the test answers are resting under the teacher’s head. The students debate over what to do, leading to arguments that (comedically) threaten to devolve into “Lord of the Flies”/”Yellowjackets” mayhem!
Why theater? Those of us who are on the stage every day can answer this questions easily! We love theater because its a big family! Being a part of the theater program at Tustin High School gives you an instant group of friends who aren't afraid to be both silly and vulnerable, it helps you gain tons of confidence and it helps you in all your other classes and your future because you become a great communicator.
Anyone who is interested in learning and making art is welcome to join Tiller Theatricals! Please speak to your counselor to sign up for an appropriate course!
From showcases, to student written work, to plays and musicals, we have done it all!
We work on both the basics and more advanced acting skills.
We build sets, design costumes and makeup, work with lights and sound for all of our productions.
Tiller Tales: Stories from Tomorrow's authors brings our thespians into elementary classrooms to perform plays written by 2nd and 3rd graders.
We go to shows throughout Orange County to support the arts!
Acting teaches us how to listen and respond to one another.
