AWARD WINNING THEATRE IN EDUCATION
A Forward Thinking Company
With the Magic Of Teaching Creatively
Funshine Productions is a professional production company, established in 1998 to primarily produce musical plays for children from Nursery through to
Keystage 1 and family audiences. Touring across the whole of the UK in schools, nurseries, children's centres and libraries each year to audiences of over 70,000 children. We produce innovative and diverse programmes to work with the National Curriculum and main government learning strategies.
In consultation with primary school teachers and with extensive nutritional research, 2006 saw the launch of Funshine Productions dynamic Let’s Get Fit4Life school show programme which in 2007 won the Guardian Newspaper Green Champion Highly Commended Award for successfully promoting healthy eating to children.
The company now only specialises in educational plays and 2007 saw the production of the much requested Let’s Get Fit4Life CD, taken directly from the play for schools and parents to use as an extra resource.
Whilst working on the healthy eating and fitness ideas, a new project evolved, and a brand new children’s character was created ‘Gary the Gardener’. Gary will feature in a series of children’s books on growing healthy food, recycling and the environment; the first of which was published in 2007. The educational programme of Gary is now available to visit schools. 2009 saw the launch of three new school programmes: Be Safe, Be Smart, Let’s All Play Our Part. A safety and anti-bullying show. Read A Good Book Today will encourage and inspire children to read books. Balloon Modelling Workshops to encourage co-ordination skills.
