Alex Gasson-Gray (Stage Management)

Biography

What's been your highlight during your time at Guildhall?

So far, I think my biggest at highlight during my time at Guildhall must be the opportunity I had to DSM the vocal scenes project in the summer term. Before coming to Guildhall, I had never show-called before, and I never imagined how much I would enjoy it until I tried it! I also got a very unexpected opportunity to cover my stage manager’s role during the tech period of our spring term drama, Pilgrims. It was another time I got to truly challenge myself, and the end product of the show we managed to pull of was really amazing!

What's been your highlight in the industry?

One of my highlights of my time in the industry must be when I got a chance to do work experience with the AD department on the BBC’s Waterloo Road in Manchester. I met so many people in the industry I want to go into, and it really helped me improve my confidence and knowledge of the workings of TV.

What are you most interested in working in after you graduate?

I’m open to most work once I graduate. I have an interest in stage management for musicals and dramas, and production runner work in TV.
