Stage One are pleased to announce our fifth exchange programme with Columbia University. After a successful inaugural programme in 2019-2020, we have integrated the exchange as one of Stage One’s core development programmes. Stage One and Columbia University are thrilled to be working together again and offering this opportunity to a new cohort of producers.

On 12^th May 2025, 12 producers taking part in the MFA Theatre Producing Course at Columbia University are coming to the West End for a weeklong intensive series of workshops on how to produce in London and the UK.

In September 2025 Stage One will take 12 producers (who have previously taken part in a Stage One programme) to New York for one week to learn everything about how to produce on Broadway.

Applications are now open for the 12 UK-based producers wanting to take part in the programme, connect with the New York cohort, and visit the US in September!

Deadline: Monday 31^st March, 12 noon
