Be part of something WONDER-FULL

Patch Theatre needs your support. Here’s why… We perform to over 50,000 children every year. We reach diverse communities. We create memories. We inspire a love for the arts. We transform lives. With your support, we can reach even more children. Patch is one of Australia's leading children's theatre companies. We believe every child deserves to experience the wonder of live performance. For many of the children who see our shows every year, Patch is their very first encounter with theatre. We create moments that spark imagination, curiosity and joy that lasts a lifetime. Since 1972, we’ve created more than 115 original works for children aged 4-8, each designed through deep research into how children see and experience the world. Our performances are visually stunning, design-rich and invite children to be co-adventurers in journeys of discovery and imagination that continue long after the curtain falls.

But creating high-quality theatre for children takes time, artistry and resources. That’s why your generosity matters. Your gift helps us develop bold new works that reflect the imaginations of children today, to tour regionally, nationally and internationally, bring theatre to communities with limited access, deliver education programs in classrooms, especially in disadvantaged schools, and keep ticket prices affordable to minimise the cost barrier faced by many families.

When you donate to Patch, you’re investing in a child’s first memory of live theatre, families sharing joy through performance, classrooms being enriched by arts education and the future of children’s theatre in Australia. Patch exists because of a community of artists, audiences and donors who believe in the power of theatre for children. With your support, we can dream bigger, create bolder and ensure that generations of children step into the theatre with their eyes wide and ready to be transported to extraordinary worlds. Together, we can create something truly WONDER-FULL. Kindness looks good on you!

About Patch Theatre

At Patch Theatre, we believe in celebrating childhood in its purest form. Since 1972, our performances have been guided by the curiosity, wonder, and awe that define a child's perspective. With over 115 world-class productions, we've touched the lives of more than 2 million children, parents, and grandparents, offering access to quality arts experiences regardless of background or ability. Our design-led process involves input from children at all stages, to remind us what the truth of play really is, especially in this digital world that we live in. We believe quality arts experiences are an essential part of childhood learning and development.
