East 15 Acting School's BA Stage and Production Management course is a practical-based professional training that prepares you for careers in a range of production and technical roles in theatre, events and related creative industries.

We emphasise learning through practice and you are part of a creative production team from early in the course. Based at our picturesque Loughton Campus, our proximity to London means you will be able to keep up-to-date with the latest technical innovations in one of the world's greatest theatre capitals. Our specially equipped Unit Four building is complete with workshops, an IT suite and seminar rooms – the perfect environment for learning your craft!

In response to developments in the creative industry, and working closely alongside it, we are making exciting updates to the BA Stage & Production Management course. Starting in 2025, we are introducing different pathways which will allow you to tailor your progression in line with your interests and career aspirations. The new structure* will give you more choice, leading to graduation with one of the following degrees:

BA Stage Management and Technical Theatre

BA Stage Management and Technical Arts

BA Stage Management and Technical Production

*pending final approval

Our Stage & Production Management Open Day on 17 October is the ideal opportunity to speak directly to our staff and learn more about the new pathways. If you cant make it to the Open Day, please check this page for updates, which will be available soon.
