Overview

When a theater audience is watching a busy city street one minute, only to be transported to a penthouse high above the clouds the next, it is the stage and production managers who ensure that every aspect of the production, from lighting and wardrobe to financing and casting, flows seamlessly and enhances the story unfolding before the audience’s eyes.

As a student in Emerson College’s Stage and Production Management BFA program, you will learn by doing. Housed in the Department of Performing Arts in the School of the Arts, the program gives you the opportunity to work on varied stage management and production supervision projects starting in your first year. You will also get the chance to intern at Boston’s leading theaters. You will graduate as a seasoned stage and production manager and leader, ready to help tell powerful stories that move minds and, ultimately, influence culture.
