History

Established in 1982.

A Brief History

The Conservatory began here in the Kearsarge area 12 years ago. Kevin and Angela Tarleton have their Masters Degrees in their chosen fields. They ran a similar Conservatory in Texas for 22 years. Between the two, they have taught all ages and levels of performing arts as well as at Universities and both National and International Workshops. They also have logged thousands of hours performing in Musical Theatre, Shakespeare, Classical Theatre, Contemporary Theatre, Children’s Theatre and all forms of Dance.

When Angela’s sister Michelle Gosnell moved up here from Texas, Angela asked Michelle, who has a degree in vocal performance, as well as thousands of performance hours and teaching experience, to head up a Music Program. That was when the Studio changed it’s name from Kearsarge Conservatory of Dance to Kearsarge Conservatory of the Performing Arts.
