><p>The Theatre Teacher Training program for middle school, high school and community college teachers is a rigorous experience that requires three summers with two intensive weeks in residence in July and considerable individual effort before and after each summer. The program requires practical implementation and documentation of applied design and production projects executed in your own school. Each year of your program will focus on a different type of theatre: first summer &#8211; representational, second summer &#8211; musical theatre and 3rd summer &#8211; presentational. The program leads to a Master of Theatre Studies in Production and Design.<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"heavy-man\">*Please note:<\/span> The Â鶹´«Ã½ Master\u2019s program candidates must complete 9 credits of elective coursework in addition to the main session intensive coursework to fulfill their degree\u00a0requirements.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">What our students say:<\/span><br \/>\n&#8220;There are things that I will take back to use in my classroom from the very first week and ideas that I will be able to use in my productions immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The information learned will be invaluable to me and my program.
