Stage Management Collarts

Before a casting call is even announced, the stage management and technical production team is taking a theatrical production from a vision into a reality. Whether guiding a performance through the rehearsal process or using the nuances of sound and light to bring a scene to life, the stage management and technical production team are at the heart of every production. It's a challenging role, but our Stage Management course arms you with everything you need to excel in the industry. Whether you want to work on small-scale shows or major productions, our experienced lecturers will guide you to a place of confidence.

With units focusing on theatre studies, stage management projects, technical production, and critical thinking, you will gain the knowledge and skills to pursue a career in stage management and develop a fundamental awareness of the practices and responsibilities of all roles involved in a performing arts production.

Our courses are designed to make you career-ready, so you’ll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in sought-after industry placements. You’ll also collaborate with students from other courses to develop a well-rounded understanding of the arts and entertainment industries and build valuable creative connections.
