About Us

The JMP Team

ABOUT US

We have been producing theatre and events since 2006 including musicals, open-air theatre festivals, musical evenings, plays, children’s theatre and pantomimes. 

It is always a pleasure to create new productions for the fantastic venues that we visit each year and are always thrilled to see so many audience members joining us. We aim to continue growing as a company by developing our relationships with even more venues. 
 
In Lincoln we have close relationships with Lincoln College working with young adults since 2006 as part of their vocational training, Lincoln BIG and Visit Lincoln to bring together our local community and St Marks Shopping Centre who have supported us over many years

Jamie turned to producing professional theatre in 2005 and set up Jamie Marcus Productions Ltd (JMP) in 2006.
