Welcome
The Birmingham Stage Company is the resident company of The Old Rep Theatre and celebrated its 17th anniversary in September 2009. This award-winning company is a unique success story in British theatre, not least because it is run by an actor and 97% of its income comes entirely from the box office.
The BSC produces classic, contemporary, new plays and childrens' work. This year includes a number of productions for children and their families - and all the shows are touring nationally.
The company's patron is Sir Derek Jacobi, who plays an active part in the life of the company.
Current and forthcoming productions include:
- An international tour of TWELFTH NIGHT
- The world premiere of HORRIBLE SCIENCE Live on Stage
- SKELLIG by David Almond
- GEORGE'S MARVELLOUS MEDICINE by Roald Dahl
Education
The company also offers a comprehensive Education service as part of its national tours.

Northern Echo
The best theatre and writing for children cuts across all barriers of age and this is a show in which the old will recognise their younger selves and the very young get a fleeting glimpse of a yet unlived future. It is lump-in-the-throat stuff for adults and mysterious and magical for children
