Stage Management

“The UCLA Stage Management Theater Laboratory Intensive is a three-week conservatory-style program for high school theater students encompassing the study and application of stage management, theater history, leadership, teamwork, and problem solving. Students will be introduced to current industry practices through workshops and hands on activities as it is an essential component to the learning process. They will spend the morning sessions breaking down stage management at each step of the theatrical process. We will look at not just how to get something done but why it’s done that way, how it was done in the past, who it effects, and how it makes the process better.

Students who participate in Session A will culminate the program by working with an ensemble on a devised theatrical piece and those who enroll in Session B will work on a musical. Both Sessions will require each student to be an active contributor from preproduction thru performance.

The program is designed for high school students who have a serious interest in stage management and seek the discipline and training required for participation in a university theater program or a career in the performing arts.”

Admission to the intensive is by digital audition and instructor consent. As part of the application process, each applicant must submit a personal statement, a video audition of a song, monologue and dance, and a resume.
