30K IN 30 DAYS

Independent by nature. Fierce by choice. Stronger with you.

At Theatre Works, we’ve always stood beside independent artists — not just giving them space, but truly backing them. This End of Financial Year, I’m inviting you to be part of that commitment by helping us raise $30,000 in 30 days.

It creates space for bold ideas, new voices, and brave stories. Behind every production is a leap of faith — and a real cost.

Each show is underwritten by Theatre Works:

$21,000 in the main venue and $15,000 in the Explosives Factory.

We don’t do this for profit.

We do it for possibility.

To take risks.

To tell stories that matter.

To make space for the next generation of artists.

Your donation directly supports our artist-first model — which means more new work, more paid creatives, and more room for voices that often go unheard.

Here’s what your support enables:

• Artists to rehearse, create and perform in professional, affordable spaces

• Innovative, diverse productions to reach audiences across Melbourne and beyond

• Theatre Works to remain a fiercely independent hub for creativity in St Kilda

• Real jobs for artists, crew, designers, and makers — not just passion projects

• We don’t rent out our venue. We don’t sell space. Instead, we partner with artists — offering production, marketing, technical and creative support to bring new work to life.

Nearly all our income comes from ticket sales, donations and project fundraising. It’s a challenging model — but one that puts the art and the artists first.

Whether it’s $3 or $3,000, every dollar makes a difference.

Independent by nature. Fierce by choice. Stronger with you.

Donate today. Support Theatre Works before June 30.

Thanks for reading — and for standing with us.
