    BOX OF TRICKS THEATRE COMPANY 

    The principal activity of the company remains the advancement of the arts by the promotion in particular, but not exclusively, of the art of drama
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
    Established: 12 years
