Holy Trinity College Theater Arts Guild was founded by Danny Rojas, a nephew of Madam Gertrudes Albano, founder of HTC, to showcase a X'mas fund raising for the high school department. With the help of Ms. Iyog, they auditioned performers in 1994 to mount 'Woman of God' a religious play written by James Reuter SJ. Mr. Romy Narvaez, director of MSU Kabpapagariya Ensemble was invited to do the theater workshop where he tagged along Al-Nezzar Ali to assist the workshop in dance-theater. Danny invited Al to choreographed and assist in the directing of the production that was performed in December of 1994. The rest was history, as Mr. Ali was absorbed in the college to teach English and Humanities, thereby helping in the continuation of the TAG. By 1996, Danny resigned and the TAG was given to Ms. Marivie Lim as the adviser and Al took the position as full time artistic director until the year 2000 where he resigned to concentrate as instructor in the college. Marivi also ended her advisory and transferred to SPED. At this time most of its alumni members were enrolled in Notre Dame of Dadiangas University thereby evolving in that school another theater group-the Likas Teatro.
