Angelo Cerniglia
Teacher
With a focus on strengthening the already indisputable reputation of TCT, Angelo brings with him the belief that an education through the arts helps to create a more complete person. By creating a catalog of robust courses in the fine arts and extending the reach of TCT’s mission throughout the community, he aims to serve as many young artists as possible and provide opportunities to learn and grow through the arts. Angelo has been so fortunate to work with some of the most talented professionals in the field and incredibly gifted young artists all over the country. He is a contributing author in the first musical theatre education textbook, the iTheatrics Method, and piloted several new works with M.T.I. such as <em>Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR.</em>, and <em>Xanadu JR. </em> In 2017, Angelo was chosen as one of seven arts educators of the year and was the recipient of M.T.I.’s The Freddie G Teaching Award. However, he is most proud of his art inclusion work with Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts and the introduction of an arts focused public school under the S.T.E.A.M. model. He received his B.F.A. from Shenandoah Conservatory in Theatre for Youth Education and his M. Ed. in Integrated Teaching through the Arts and Curriculum Design from Lesley University.
