How does it work?
Each year, Stage One partners with 4 subsidised houses across the UK to recruit, train and support 4 talented producers through a year-long fully funded placement scheme. Emerging producers will have the opportunity to apply for a placement at one or all venues and following successful shortlist from Stage One will have the opportunity to interview with the theatre’s producing team. The producer will have the opportunity to assist in producing high quality, potentially commercial work learn of the challenges and opportunity of working in a theatre venue.
The successful candidates will be employed by the partner organisation on a 12 month fixed-term contract, and work within the team. Additionally, this person will receive:
- One to one mentoring from an experienced producer/professional (likely their line manager),
- Regular check-ins with the Stage One network
- A free place on the Stage One Workshop
How to apply:
Applications to host a National Placement have now closed.

If you're a producer looking to apply to take on a placement, note this application will open later in 2024.
"Stage One has done legendary work over the years, providing brilliant opportunities for theatre producers to train and develop across their courses and placements.
We’re delighted to be working with them to offer a Trainee Producer placement at Nottingham Playhouse, and we look forward to welcoming the successful candidate to Nottingham, where they will help us deliver our broad range of produced shows in 2023-24.”
