Program Recognition
•Bullet: Transcripted Certificate of Achievement in Musical Theatre Teaching (General track) — the foundational sequence in SAC's Musical Theatre Teaching certificate pathway
•Bullet: Part of SAC Theatre Arts' Performance Degrees & Certificates pathway alongside the Acting, Dance, and Music emphasis variants
Training
•Bullet: General-track sequence pairs performance coursework with pedagogy: THEA 153 (Introduction to Directing), THEA 111 (Intermediate Acting), THEA 178 (Musical Theatre Techniques), THEA 179 (Musical Theatre Workshop), MUS 111 (Music Theory and Musicianship I), MUS 122 (Intermediate Voice), and DNCE 201B (Ballet II) plus DNCE 219B (Jazz Dance II)
•Bullet: Unlike the Acting, Music, and Dance emphasis tracks, the General certificate requires EDUC 210 (The Teaching Experience: Secondary Education) and CDEV 205 (Introduction to Children with Disabilities or Delays), pairing musical theatre performance study directly with classroom pedagogy for students preparing to teach musical theatre in K-12 or community settings
•Bullet: Theatre Arts faculty co-chaired by Chris Cannon, MFA (performance/film/acting) and Kevin Slay, MFA (production/technical theatre); musical theatre instruction led by John Blaylock, MFA
Performance & Productions
•Bullet: Certificate students can pursue department production auditions at Phillips Hall — recent SAC mainstage productions include Urinetown, Ride the Cyclone, and Dracula — a post-enrollment opportunity, not an admission requirement for this open-enrollment certificate
