Technical and Production

Sadler's Wells Technical and Production department works behind the scenes to realise the shows, with staff working in all aspects of production including lighting, sound, set and costumes.

As both a producing and a receiving theatre the involvement of the team varies from show to show, ranging from a supporting role for established touring companies to full technical and production support for our own shows and festivals.

The Technical and Production team work on shows and performances not only in each of our 3 theatre spaces, but also our offsite and touring projects.

In the many venues and spaces that Sadler's Wells presents work each year, the Technical and Production department experiences not only a high turnover of shows, but also an exciting and wide range of performances, in terms of both style and scale.
