PROPELLER THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED 

A tour of Pocket Dream (based on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream') and of Pocket Comedy (based on 'The Comedy of Errors') in schools and small theatres
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
