THREE PILLARS OF YOUR PHILANTHROPIC GIFT
01 • PRODUCTIONS & ORCHESTRAS
Accessible Mainstage Theatre & Circular Stagecraft
Your support helps fund full 14–23 piece live symphony orchestras across our mainstage productions while keeping ticket prices accessible for local families. Through our national Stagecraft & Costume Hire programme, sets, props, and costumes fabricated in our Hornsby and Willoughby facilities are reused by schools and theatre companies across Australia rather than sent to landfill.
02 • EDUCATION & MENTORSHIP
Emerging Artist Mentorship & Stagecraft Training
Through our educational initiatives and Stagecraft Workshops, donations help fund hardship bursaries and hands-on skills training that empower emerging artists to pursue their creative passions on stage and behind the scenes alongside conservatorium-trained vocal, musical, and technical directors.
03 • COMMUNITY ACCESS
Inclusive Access & Charity Ticketing Partnerships
Through our community outreach and partnership with It’s On The House, we allocate complimentary and subsidised tickets across our mainstage seasons at The Concourse so individuals and families experiencing financial hardship, carers, and community workers can experience live theatre.
