Who we are and what we do
RGM Productions is an independent, Olivier Award nominated theatre production company that brings together more than forty years industry knowledge and experience.

RGM are commercial producers who bring a 360-degree producer’s perspective to everything we do. Not only do we develop our own productions but we also general manage and tour book for new and established productions. We do everything from building initial budgets to devising international touring strategies, planning and supervising marketing and publicity campaigns – and everything in between.

Our business culture is based on integrity, respect, helpfulness and straight-talking. This industry is a small one and success and longevity are built on reputation. Our principal producers, Garry McQuinn and Bradley Stauffer-Kruse have worked on shows all over the world (including Broadway and the West End). They have earned reputations for honesty and fairness, forging trusted partnerships and long-standing relationships around the world.
RGM Productions is at heart a family business and we pride ourselves on our personal approach. Our small, dedicated and energetic team of talented people have diverse and complementary skills, experiences and backgrounds and we are all fiercely international in our outlook.
“My adventures in producing over the last two decades have included wonderful shows such as Tap Dogs, Gumboots, Slava and (for over a decade and since it began) Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Musical. These are productions that carry the theatrical spark that distinguishes great entertainment. We are always on the look out for innovative and visionary artists with an endless capacity to surprise, entertain and provoke.”
