Help us create extraordinary experiences

Donate now

We believe in the transformative power of theatre to reshape our understanding of the world. By collaborating with visionary artists, we create ambitious and meaningful experiences that resonate deeply with our audiences.

Our work thrives on the generosity of funders and supporters like you. Ticket sales only cover a small fraction of our event costs. Your support is crucial in helping us bridge the gap, allowing us to continue empowering artists and bringing their work to life. Join us in making a difference today.

“Thank you for this beautiful experience. So precious, so inspiring. I will remember for the rest of my life” Audience member, Mayfest 2024
