Stage Management Journeys 2025

Join us for a roundtable Q&A with Stage Management professionals moderated by Academy Dramaturg Lloyd Trott.
If you are considering a career in stage management, studying technical theatre arts, planning a career transition, or in the early part of your career journey, Stage Management Journeys will inform and inspire you about the incredible opportunities ahead of you.
Panellists will include West End producer Martyn Hayes, former Director of Technical Production at the Royal Opera House Mark Dakin and stage management lecturer Bex Snell. The panel will discuss their varied careers and different stage management pathways from film production to live events, West End stage management and more.
In its third year, RADA hosts Stage Management Journeys in honour of RADA Technical Theatre & Stage Management graduate and long-standing National Theatre Stage Manager, Trish Montemuro.
Your ticket will include a networking reception providing the chance to meet with the panellists and other stage management professionals as well as a display of Stage Management items from the National Theatre’s archive.
Following the roundtable you will also have the opportunity to visit RADA’s annual Costume and Production Exhibition. The exhibition features the amazing work of our current Technical Theatre Arts students on the Postgraduate Diploma in Theatre Costume, Foundation Degree and BA (Hons) in Technical Theatre and Stage Management courses in the.
With special thanks to Satoko Yamaga Macdonald.
