BA (Hons) Stage Management at Birmingham City University

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.
