Birmingham Stage Company

The Birmingham Stage Company is one of the world's leading producers of theatre for children and their families. It was founded by Actor/Manager Neal Foster and uniquely for a British theatre company it relies for 100% of its income from the box office, which means you! Our Patron is Sir Derek Jacobi and since our foundation in 1992 we've staged over seventy productions for adults and children, working with Britain's finest living writers including David Walliams, Terry Deary, Michael Morpurgo, Philip Pullman and David Wood. Our adult productions have ranged from classics such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams and The Crucible by Arthur Miller to contemporary plays including the British Premiere of Beau Jest by James Sherman, Speed-The-Plow by David Mamet, Proof by David Auburn and the world premieres of The Dice House by Paul Lucas and Collision by Dominic Leyton.
