“The kids loved it. We adults loved it!” - audience feedback

We develop partnerships with local authorities to bring free live performances to families.
“This is bringing live theatre to pockets and areas where people don’t have funding to access live theatre. It’s bringing the community together: the interaction of the show is just fantastic for young people, you can see their faces light up. “
Beth Hanna, Resident Development Operations Manager, Nottingham City Council
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss working in partnership with us.
A Collaborative Approach
Artistic Director, Sarah Simpson founded Jellyfish Theatre. Everyone contributes creatively to making new shows. We are collaborative and actors bring diverse skills: actors may perform in one production, and then write, or co-direct, or compose for another.
Casting opportunities are posted on Spotlight and our socials.
