Productions

At MGA we firmly believe that the one of the valuable methods of learning is by performing in front of an audience. This allows our students to apply the skills they have learned and developed throughout their time with us in a professional hands on environment.

We maximise this experience for our students by holding concerts, gigs and fully-staged productions in large-scale commercial theatres – such as the King’s Theatre and internationally-recognised concert venue the Usher Hall – and smaller studio spaces and site-specific venues throughout the year.
