Continuing Education and College Credit

Learn from two of the foremost authorities in music theater education and gain essential skills for creating a quality music theater program in your institution.

The iTheatrics track at the GIA Fall Institute is designed to empower participants to create dynamic and sustainable music theater programs in both school and community settings. It is geared toward anyone who does musical theater with young people grades K through 12.

Cynthia Ripley and Marty Johnson have decades of experience and have written musical theatre how-to guides for Music Theatre International, Disney Theatrical Productions, Tams-Witmark Music Library, Inc., Rogers & Hammerstein, Hal Leonard Publishing, and MacMillan/McGraw-Hill. In addition, theyve adapted over 60 musicals for kids to perform.

The workshops in the iTheatrics track emphasize experiential learning, active skill building, and an overall focus on fun. From the stage of the East Room in the White House to the cafetorium of a rural school in Wyoming, iTheatrics teaching artists have traveled all across the U.S. to empower students and community members everywhere to present student-driven musical theatre.

Whether you are a seasoned pro or you’re just getting started, you will walk away energized and ready to tackle any musical theater challenge that comes your way.

The iTheatrics workshop is available to anyone registered for full attendance to the Fall Institute.
