THE ANDREW TREAGUS WEST END WORKSHOP
The West End workshop is our longest running programme, designed as an introduction into the commercial theatre industry.
In 2023, Stage One renamed their West End Workshop in memory of Andrew Treagus. Renowned General Manager & Producer for over 40 years, Andrew was instrumental in creating this unique insight into producing in the West End for future theatre leaders.
