USALT
Father Eduardo Perez, O.S.A. conceived and brought into reality the U.S.A. Little Theater. He formed four committees: production, research, talent and finance. Each committee was headed by a faculty member with Miss Sinforosa Yasa as general chairman. In a short time, the Little Theater came out with the first play Sino Ba Kayo. Throughout its long years of existence, USALT has presented various socially relevant plays. Currently under the Artistic Direction of Director Eric Divinagracia, USALT consistently explores ways to tell exciting and meaningful stories of our times.

THE USA CHOIR
The University of San Agustin choir started as the off shoot of a small singing group called "The Song Weavers" under the direction of Father Angel Dulanto, O.S.A. In 1974, Father Ezcurra formed another special group called "The Troubadours". This group, undoubtedly the finest in the USA Conservatory of Music, has been considered the best and used to perform during special occasions only. Both singing groups have maintained their impressive reputation in music when Dean Salvacion Jardenil and Mr Gerardo Muyuela took over from Father Ezcurra.
