BA Hons Theatre Production as back up ?

Post by DadofACP »

My son is still pursuing a BA in Musical Theatre for Sept 2020 start as his first choice, but as a backup can anyone recommend any good places that also do a BA in Theatre Production ? He also has a passion for this side and it may offer better long term prospects. I know GSA offer this, but not too sure of any others.

Salford do but I don't know much about their reputation, only that they have a good reputation for music technology. Royal Welsh do too. LIPA have a Theatre & Performance Technology or Design degree. Then Central do Stage Management.

Guildhall do BA Hons in Production Arts, and also in Technical Theatre, which are very highly regarded. My DS starts there in Sept but on the music strand. The people I know who did the technical theatre course (about 10 years ago) are all still working successfully in the industry.

Congrats to him. My son is really interested in Electronic Music at Guildhall. They only take 20 across all 4 years though (5 per year) so its a long shot. Hope your Ds has a great time.

Thank you. \:D/

Its electronic music DS is going to do at Guildhall!! He was set on it for years and it was the only place he applied to, so it was very high risk, but it paid off!!

Feel free to DM me if your DS wants any audition info or anything else we can help with x

Wow!,

My son is only about to go into year 11 and he then plans on doing a Btec in Music Tech alongside studying music theory. It’s the composition/arranging side he’s interested in rather than sound production. But he is researching now so he knows what to work on eg music theory and getting a portfolio.

Is your ds opting to start on the all round Electronic Music or specialising in one of the genres. Mine especially likes film/theatre music.
