Angelo Cerniglia, Education Director
Teacher
Angelo Cerniglia has served as the Education Director of TCT since 2019. He graduated from Shenandoah Conservatory, B.F.A.: Theatre for Youth, and Lesley University - M.Ed. Arts Integration and Curriculum Design. He's a proud recipient of the Freddie G Spirit Award and has had the privilege of sharing his love for the arts by working with talented students from coast to coast for 16 years! As a Cincinnati transplant, he quickly grew to love the Queen City and has made it his home with his partner, Paul, and their two old grumpy little dogs. Helping TCT's education department grow by providing platforms for gifted young performers to obtain high-caliber access to training and performance opportunities is a dream come true. The AcademyLIVE! program, created in 2021, produces 3 fully realized musicals for an all-youth cast to perform each year, in addition to full course offerings through the Academy. The success of these programs gave way to our award-winning Junior Theatre Festival Team, which attends an international theater conference that focuses on bringing together students to share their love for musical theatre and to perform a musical excerpt for adjudication! From teaching classes to bringing a show to life, there is always time to instill invaluable knowledge of the arts, impart technique and terminology, and create a space for all to thrive! Looking to the future, he hopes to continuously bring new offerings and opportunities into each season while fostering an on-going excellence in the arts. And remember... when in doubt - step touch it out!
