Support Us

We are a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England and a Registered Charity. However, demand for our work far exceeds our funding and our activity and ambition remain high across each year. We value our Taught by an Idiot participation, community engagement and education programme on a par with our professional productions, and this work is only made possible through additional funding.   We are grateful for the generosity of Trusts and Foundations and individuals who have supported us in the past and continue to work alongside us in order to help us achieve our vision of making our work accessible to all. 

For more information about possible ways to invest in or support our work, please contact Jenni Grainger, Executive Director or call 0207 407 4123.

Corporate Partnerships

Our productions achieve a huge amount of success and critical acclaim, with thousands of audiences seeing our shows each year. As a touring company, our work can stretch across the length and breadth of the UK as well as internationally, from Plymouth to Edinburgh, New York to Barcelona. We are adept at working with a range of different companies on different levels.

Most recently we worked with British Airways, who sponsored the transfer of our hit production, My Perfect Mind, to 59E59 Theaters in New York.

We will work with you to put together a bespoke package based on your company's needs, but some examples of benefits we can offer sponsors include:

  • Inclusion of logo on our marketing materials
  • Tickets to Told by an Idiot productions
  • Team building workshops
