Hey, I stumbled across these forums while looking for information about various tech production courses. I'm looking to apply at the end of this year and was hoping someone (or someones) would be able to help me by giving some pros and cons about the various degrees.

At the moment I'm looking at apply to NIDA, VCA, WAAPA, USQ and possibly QUT, JCU and the Uni of Ballarat. Any thoughs people could offer on these (or other) courses would be very welcome.

Thanks!

Hi Jenn,

I am currently in my final year of the Stage Management degree at USQ Toowoomba. Intake is small 8-12 students and as with all the good course our hours reflect that of the industry.

You are given the opportunity to undertake nearly all positions - Board OP, Sound Designer, Head LX, Lighting Designer, ASM - props/wardrobe/set, Deputy SM and SM and you may get Tour Manager and Production Coordinator for the show case/film production.

We work closely with the Empire Theatre staff and have practical classes there as well.

I would be happy to talk to you about any other information you require.

Cheers

Anita
