TUTTI FRUTTI PRODUCTIONS

tutti frutti is a touring theatre company that creates work specifically for children over 3 and their families. We perform in a variety of venues regionally, nationally and internationally from small and mid scale theatres to art centres, schools and rural touring schemes, and undertake around 300 performances a year. We create newly commissioned plays and adapt popular stories.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
