We are the CCAE Conservatory – the Youth Theatre training program at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido.

With our youthful spirit and artist-driven approach,  we provide an environment for growth, education and inspiration of youth, theatre professionals as well as our audiences. We aim to foster the next generation of artists for the American Theatre.

This year-round program consists of regularly recurring Masterclasses with industry professionals, Audition Workshops, week-long Musical Theater Intensives, and an annual Conservatory Production.
