Stage One aims to support and encourage new producers in the commercial theatre. In today's tough financial environment, producing and raising investment for a theatre production has become ever more difficult and complex. New producers are the future lifeblood of the industry and Stage One is committed to nurturing new talent and sustaining the future of quality theatre in this country.

Stage One supports new producers in three main ways.

Bursaries
The bursaries scheme provides financial and practical assistance to new commercial theatre producers with a view to furthering their careers. Recipients are able to use the bursary to develop and present new productions, mentored by an established industry figure.

Workshop
The three-day workshop is an intensive course specifically designed for those who have not previously produced commercial plays, or have only limited experience, but have a firm commitment to a career in theatre production. Sessions are conducted by leading industry practitioners

So, you wanna’ be a producer?!
This is a guide for commercial theatre producers, designed to provide new producers with an introduction to the basic skills and knowledge they will need to produce a play on a commercial basis.
