Stage Management

About this programme

Prepare yourself for a successful career in Stage Management by studying at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Our BA (Hons) Stage Management degree provides in-depth, practical training; we aim to produce confident graduates who are ready for a successful career in the industry as soon as they leave us. You'll gain authentic industry experience while developing the vital skills needed in each role of a stage management team. So we produce over 21 productions in an academic year, and 14 of those are main scale shows that are open to the public. Being able to work in theatres around Birmingham is incredible. I've worked in the Old Rep Theatre, the Crescent Theatre, there's two theatres within there, and I've also worked at the Patrick Studio at the Hippodrome. So on Heanage Street, we have a building, we call it 3B, in there we have a wardrobe department, a workshop, we build sets and we have a props department as well as our own classroom there. It's a fantastic facility that we have. Just being able to experience different spaces, getting to know the space around Birmingham is such an incredible opportunity to have, and I've loved it. With how the course is set up on the productions, we get to work with people, students from each year. It's really fun because with such a small group, you really get close really quickly and you're not always working with the same people and so you're moving around. You don't need to have any previous experience. You learn a lot by doing, and this course offers a lot of that doing.
