About Us

409 Productions is owned and managed by Producer, Ethan J Smith. Ethan began his producing ventures in 2008 at the age of 13, when he founded Five Star Theatre: a thriving community production company that sets the standard for musical theatre in his Rugby hometown. 

Ethan’s vision for 409 Productions is to create and deliver quality family touring theatre: shows that engage and excite audiences of all ages whilst providing real value for money. We have a big love for pantomime at 409, and we continually strive to exceed audience expectations. 

Our previous productions include tours of Rapunzel and The Wizard of Oz, as well as numerous years of producing pantomimes for The Century Theatre, Coalville and The Benn Hall, Rugby. We also take our ‘Adults Only Night’ versions of our Christmas pantomimes to various other venues.
