Nothing can replace the live experience of theatre. Theatre is not like watching a film, or reading a book, or even talking to a friend. Theatre is community, the celebration of a shared, momentary experience that brings us empathy and insight. This is the lasting legacy of theatre, and the meaning of your support.

As a non-profit company, we are committed to keeping theatre accessible for everyone. But it's a financial balancing act and our revenues struggle to keep up with costs.

It's your donations that make the difference, and that allow us to invest back into three important areas of our work:

•  Development programs for individual artists and for works that show promise;
•  The ongoing development and roll out of our educational and community programs; and
•  The realisation of the larger and more ambitious works in our main stage program.

In this way, your gifts not only support STC's ability to deliver existing programs, they also help to create a hothouse for our next generation of artists, writers and directors. At the same time, your donations are giving our more established artists the opportunity to push their boundaries and produce new works of excellence, scale and diversity.
