Stage Experience is The Alexandra’s annual youth theatre production. It is open to anyone aged 9 - 24 who can commit two weeks of their summer holiday to putting on a musical.

You will work alongside our industry professional Director, Choreographer and Musical Director to mount a full-scale production of Bring It On in just two weeks! It is a unique opportunity to make new friends, hone your skills in a fast-paced theatre environment and ultimately, experience what it is like to take part in a large-scale production on a par with West End/touring musicals.

The fortnight culminates in 4 fully-staged performances complete with our professional orchestra, set, lighting, sound and costumes at The Alexandra, Birmingham.

Our stage experience will engage, accommodate and empower people of all abilities, ages, genders, races and socio-economic backgrounds and we actively welcome applicants from the global majority as well as the D/deaf and disabled communities.
