We are delighted to announce the 4 theatres who will be hosting the regional placements for 2020:

• Birmingham Repertory Theatre

• Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse

• Mercury Theatre Colchester

• Sherman Theatre

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stage One’s Trainee Producer Placement scheme offers unique hands-on training and development opportunity for outstanding entrepreneurial individuals to learn within a dynamic and practical environment.

The aims of the regional scheme are:

• To graduate 4 emerging producers from the programme who have developed their producing knowledge and increased their commercial contacts over a 12 month placement.
• To support subsidised venues in their plans to exploit work commercially and acknowledge the importance of the placements in supporting this cultural change.

Birmingham Repertory Theatre:

Sean Foley, Artistic Director of Birmingham Repertory Theatre said:

“The REP is extremely proud to be a 2020 host venue for The Stage One Regional New Producer Placement.  The REP has a history of supporting emerging artists from the region in their development, and we’re delighted to be working with Stage One again to create this opportunity for an emerging producer to join us as we enter a new era with myself as Artistic Director, along with my colleagues, Amit Sharma, new Deputy Artistic Director and new Executive Director Rachael Thomas.”

 

 

 

 

Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse:

Victoria Rope, Producer at the Everyman & Playhouse Theatres, said:

“Stage One has made such a significant contribution to the UK theatre landscape by providing this incredible industry focussed opportunity to support early career producers.
