The Elufowoju jr Ensemble

We're the producers behind hit shows The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives and 54.60 Africa (both at the Arcola Theatre 2018 / 2025). Both of those shows were developed over many years to make them ready for our audiences. Along the way we engaged with lots of artists and creative talent of African heritage in the UK and on the continent of Africa.

We are a project-funded company. This means we have no regular funding sources (yet!). We are totally reliant on raising funds for every initiative and do lots of our work without remuneration, in order to get ourselves to the stages where we love to be.

This appeal is to anyone who can contribute something towards our essential running costs as a business. We have to have insurance, a web site, registered office etc. And even occasionally buy someone a coffee to try to persuade them to get on board with a new venture... Our Reserves are depleted after recent busy months.

If you feel you would like to support this pioneering British African theatre company we would value that so much. And you would be helping us on the long journey which leads eventually to a new hit show before packed, enthusiastic audiences. Thank you.
