Studying Stage Management at Guildhall

The Stage Management pathway of Guildhall's BA Production Arts is all about developing your craft to professional standards in a fully professional context. By the end of the programme, you will bring all your skills to bear on full-scale productions, taking lead roles in managing shows from rehearsal room to final performance.

Stage Managers are at the centre of any production or event. Stage managers are organised and creative individuals who require all manner of skills and competencies, but chief among these are ‘people skills’. Only through good interaction, communication and negotiation with people will stage managers be able to understand and work with performers, directors, designers and all the production departments.

As a Stage Management student, you will learn about managing rehearsal rooms and performances, props sourcing and show calling, as well as team management and budgeting.
