Stage One is dedicated to supporting new producers and productions in the commercial theatre. It fulfils a crucial role at the heart of the theatre industry. In today's tough financial environment, producing and raising investment for a theatre production has become ever more difficult and complex. Stage One is committed to nurturing new talent, supporting current producers, and sustaining the future of quality theatre in this country.

Founded in 1976, Stage One is run by a Council consisting of many of the major theatre producers, managers and owners in the UK.
