The Letter J make performance and art experiences for children and their communities.
Our history:
The Letter J was formed in 2012 by Judith Williams having been inspired by the illustrations of The Grey Earl [AKA Jon Bishop]. With the support of Imaginate, Jude and Jon roped in a couple of artist friends [Ruth Janssen and Andy McGeoch] to develop the idea for Grandad and Me and so it grew . . . our first full length production of Grandad and Me premiered in May 2014 at Imaginate then toured Scotland.
