Workshops

Virtual ITF is the perfect place to hone your craft, develop your skills, and have a little fun in the process. Nationally recognized teaching artists and industry professionals will lead daily workshops on a wide variety of topics, including:

Acting
Music and Dance
Technical theatre and stagecraft
Playwriting
Theatre administration

Professional Development Intensives

Teachers, use your festival experience to bolster your professional learning! ITF will offer several three-hour interactive PD sessions, available exclusively to EdTA members. When you register for PDIs as an add-on, you’ll get to participate in all the PDI sessions for one price -- plus access the material for 30 days after the festival.

College credit will be available; ask your administrator if your district will accept EdTA programs for continuing education credit.

What people are saying...

“This festival far exceeded my expectations. I cannot believe how fun, interactive, and educational the entire week was. I often forgot that I was just sitting at home because I was so engaged and ready to come back for more every day.”

“This event has always energized and inspired me to dig deeper into the kind of teacher and director I want to be, and this year was no different. I was blown away by how much time and effort went into making sure we all had a way to come together to celebrate theatre.”

“My experience at virtual ITF was amazing! I loved having the opportunity to listen to professional actors, choreographers, directors, and writers from the comfort of my home. My entire week was full of non-stop learning, and allowed me to be a part of a global theatre community.”

“Virtual ITF was so impressive! The invited presenters and celebrities were fabulous. I laughed, I cried, and I was moved emotionally in every session. ITF provided much-needed joy in the midst of challenging times. Thank you!”
