Technical Theatre

BA(Hons) Technical Theatre Arts

The Technical Theatre programme at the Guildhall School provides the most innovative vocational training in the UK. The teaching is practical and production based; you will work on public productions with professional directors, designers and conductors participating in the creation of acclaimed dramas, musicals and operas.

The Guildhall School has excellent facilities, modern equipment and very high production values. These allow the programme to keep in line with current practice and new theatre technology. You will use the School's on-site theatres, rehearsal rooms, workshops and costume department and work closely alongside students training to be professional actors, singers, musicians and composers.


The syllabus has been designed to completely involve you in the complex art of theatre, bringing together writers, designers, performers, composers, choreographers, technicians and administrators to create a production. Your training will provide you with a firm practical knowledge of theatre crafts and managerial skills and prepare you for a professional life in the theatre. This programme has delivered an excellent record of graduate success in the fields of professional theatre, film, television and related industries.

This programme was formally the BA Honours Degree in Stage Management and Technical Theatre. It is subject to re-validation by City University, London.
