Jericho House Productions
Charity 1131984
Overview
Summary
Jericho House Productions appears to use theatre as both an artistic output and an educational, inclusion-oriented method. Its role extends beyond staging productions: it combines participation by disadvantaged groups with research and dissemination spanning arts and science. This suggests an organisation positioned between cultural production, public learning and knowledge-sharing, although the available evidence does not show its geographic reach, scale, partners or the communities it engages.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission record, current through the annual return for the year ending 31 March 2025, lists Birmingham City, City of London and Sheffield City as places where the charity operates. This supports a multi-city, regional-scale reported footprint, but it does not identify any Birmingham ward, recognised place or delivery venue.
- There is no current direct evidence of service delivery, productions, programmes, partnerships or physical operational sites in Birmingham. No usable current evidence was available from the organisation's website.
- The charity reported £0 income and £0 expenditure in each financial year from 31 March 2021 to 31 March 2025. This creates substantial uncertainty over whether the reported Birmingham footprint reflects live activity rather than retained or historic information.
- The current registered office is in Malvern, and the Charity Commission states that the charity does not own or lease land or property. These records do not evidence a Birmingham operational base.
- Historic references to a Birmingham address or earlier theatre activity were not treated as evidence of current operations.
Additional evidence needed
- A current programme, production schedule, annual report, impact report or direct confirmation from the organisation identifying Birmingham delivery locations and dates.
- Confirmation of whether the Birmingham, London and Sheffield locations in the Charity Commission return represent active delivery during or after the year ending 31 March 2025.
- Evidence from current venue or delivery partners showing any Birmingham-based productions, workshops or participatory activity.

Observations
Theatre appears to be a vehicle for participation, not only performance
The organisation appears to treat drama as a means of advancing education and involving disadvantaged groups, rather than as an end limited to producing theatre for audiences.
Why it matters
This distinguishes Jericho House Productions from a conventional producing company and suggests that its value may lie partly in who can take part in making theatre.

Its operating model spans creation, participation and knowledge-sharing
The three stated strands suggest a deliberately mixed model: producing work, enabling participation and generating or sharing learning about arts and science.
Why it matters
This may make the organisation a potential bridge between cultural practitioners, community participants and people interested in arts-and-science exchange.

Arts and science may be an unusual area of emphasis
The explicit inclusion of research and dissemination about arts and science may indicate an interest in interdisciplinary public education that goes beyond drama production.
Why it matters
This could reveal complementary opportunities with science-engagement, education or research organisations that would not be apparent from the organisation's theatre focus alone.
