Support

At Patch, we create theatre that engages and excites children by exploring the world from a child’s point of view. We work closely with children, artists, and educators to create unique performances, tailored to young people.

If you too are connected to our mission, consider making a regular donation. A regular donation provides stability, sustainability, and growth opportunities for Patch. They allow us to focus on our mission, create meaningful artistic experiences for children, and have a greater impact on the communities we serve.

In 2022 we expanded our artistic vision. In addition to design-led in-theatre work, we now offer interactive installations, and in-school Spark experiences.

Our installations literally put children at the centre of an art experience, which has been Patch’s guiding principle since 1972! Our in-school program allows us to interact with teachers and students in a more collaborative and intimate way. 

“You can feel that the schools are benefitting from this program [Spark] to bring theatre to far flung places. It's a highlight of my professional career to be involved.” – Performer Stephen Sheehan

In 2022, this expanded program was experienced by 56,394 children and families across 42 venues – double the audience from the year before. However, continuing to deliver this expanded program comes at a cost. We need your help to keep school ticket prices accessible for all children.

“I had the pleasure of going 3 times. Each time was amazing! I appreciate our children having the opportunity to experience this beautiful and engaging piece of art! I think every school in the area should see it!!” – Regional Teacher

Your regular support will enrich the lives of children in regional areas, offer engaging employment opportunities to artists, and create magical first-time theatre experiences.
