From 2012 onwards the touring programme diminished as a result of changes to arts funding. The emphasis for the company changed to working within the local East Lancashire community, and centred at The Boo. Some touring continued, notably "Theatre Ballads" which combines live folk music with puppetry and video, and "Suffrajitsu", both directed by Esther Ferry-Kennington. "The Moonwatcher" in 2018 was a collaboration between Bob Frith and the poet Shamshad Khan, that grew out of work with the local South Asian heritage communities, and was the last production involving Bob Frith before he retired from the company.
