Ways to Support
Make theatre with us
If you love the magic of live performance, the kind that stays with you long after the curtain falls, please consider making a gift today. When you support Sydney Theatre Company, you’re not just making a donation; you’re nurturing the future of Australian theatre. You’re helping artists dream bigger, stories reach further, and audiences feel more deeply.
With your help, we can:
CREATE MORE BRILLIANT THEATRE like The Picture of Dorian Gray, RBG: Of Many, One, The Talented Mr Ripley and Whispering Jack: The John Farnham Musical.
SUPPORT ARTISTS AND THEATRE MAKERS many of whom have a profound and lasting impact on both the national and international stage.
INVEST IN NEW WORK and the next generation of writers and storytellers through creative development, mentoring and commissioning.
SPARK A LIFELONG PASSION FOR THEATRE by providing access to students.
Every donation makes a difference: thank you for trusting us to make theatre for you.
Step into the story
There’s more than one way to be part of Sydney Theatre Company. You might begin with a single gift, join us at an event, support a larger project you care deeply about or choose to leave a legacy for the future.
However you step in, you’re welcomed closer to the artists, the ideas and the stories that bring our stages to life. Come, feel connected and help carry the story forward in the way that feels right for you.

Lunch with the Artists
Go beyond the show and into the creative heart of the work. Join the cast and creatives from select productions for a candid conversation about how the show came to life. Hear about the ideas, risks, breakthroughs and moments you never see from the auditorium.
Over a delicious two-course lunch at The Wharf Restaurant and Bar, you'll hear firsthand from the artists, ask your own questions and experience theatre from the inside.
Support a larger project
A gift towards one of our major projects is a great way to become more personally involved with the life and people of STC. If you are interested in directly supporting a production, championing women in theatre, or joining one of our donor circles, please contact the Philanthropy team at [email protected] for more information.

Commemorate your passion for the arts or honour the memory of a loved one by dedicating a seat in Roslyn Packer Theatre. Your support will provide vital funds to Sydney Theatre Company to power the future of live performance in this iconic venue.
