Support

Be part of something WONDER-FULL and help us start a love for the arts that lasts a lifetime.

Every year, we perform to over 50,000 children. We reach diverse communities. We create memories. We inspire a love for the arts. We transform lives.

But creating world-class theatre for children takes time, artistry and resources, and that’s where your generosity makes a difference.

Your gift will help us:

• develop new works that reflect the imaginations of children today

• tour regionally, nationally and internationally

• bring theatre to communities with limited access

• deliver education programs in classrooms, especially in disadvantaged schools

• keep ticket prices affordable for many families

Patch exists because of a community of artists, audiences and donors who believe in the power of theatre for children. We can ensure that generations of children step into the theatre with their eyes wide and ready to be transported to extraordinary worlds!

With your support, we can reach even more children.

Together, we can create something WONDER-FULL

Kindness looks good on you! ❤️

DONATE NOW

Here at Patch, we believe that every child, no matter their geographic location or background, deserves the opportunity to engage in the arts – to have fun, express themselves, tap into their creativity and feel a little magic. Sadly, many children in regional and remote areas are missing out.

We need your support to give children living in regional and remote Australia access to arts experiences. Help us cover the costs of taking our work on the road so we can reach the most disadvantaged young people living in regional and remote parts of SA and beyond.

Patch Theatre has been making professional theatre for 4–8 year old children and their families from our home on Kaurna Yerta, in South Australia since 1972. We’ve produced over 100 unique works and performed them to over 2 million children around the world. Each year we provide inspirational, design-rich theatre experiences to 50,000 children.

We create world-class performances that explore the way that children see the world, acknowledging the relevance of their thinking with stories that promote imagination, wonder and discovery. Our works celebrate big ideas and explore some of the world’s inexplicable questions from a child’s point of view.

Patch Theatre is eternally grateful for the passionate community of generous supporters who make our work possible. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our State and Federal Government funders, trusts and foundations, partners and individual donors. This support enables us to continue to provide enriching, high-quality performances that delight and inspire young audiences both here in Australia and across the globe. We are so appreciative!
