In 2016 Jennifer founded Freckle Productions with a view to creating a wider variety of productions – both fiction and non-fiction for children, young people and families.
Jennifer has 20 years of producing experience in the commercial sector. She co-founded the multi award-winning Scamp Theatre in the early noughties. Bringing a range of theatrical live performance to audiences of all ages, with an increased focus on the adaption of children’s literature they had a superb track record in theatre production in London, on tour and at the world’s leading venues and festivals.

Two Men Talking (West End), Charlie Victor Romeo (UK tour), The Mozart Question (UK tour), Pandora 88 (UK tour) and Aesop’s Fables (UK tour, Australia and NZ). Fond of a bit of a show tune she was delighted to bring the first sing-along-show evening to the UK in 2010 with The Crow Bar at the Edinburgh Festival direct from NY’s Marie’s Crisis club.
Jennifer has enjoyed co-producing work with the National Theatre, Barrow Street Theater New York, Sydney Opera House, Melbourne Comedy Festival, New Zealand Festival, Fiery Angel, Bristol Old Vic, Underbelly and many other UK producers and venues. She has general managed a wealth of international talent coming to the UK and the West End, including: Bunk Puppets Australia, Barrow Street Theater NY, Axis Theatre NY, Narrativ NY, Playwrights Arena LA, Fabrik Berlin, amongst many others. Jennifer has mentored an amazing selection of young producers and creatives and was a creative producer for Arts Council England East for 2 years. She has worked as a consultant with several large brands with a view to bringing their work into the live theatre sector.
Freckle is one of the leading producers of work for children and their families in the UK. Jennifer looks forward to the company continuing to tour and create new and inspirational work for audiences here and abroad.
