2017 began with some very exciting news for Theatre Works. We were fortunate to receive the support of Catalyst – Australian Arts & Cultural Fund in the establishment of the Artists Future Fund. Across three years, this new stream of funding will be available directly to artists to create and present new Australian works and leverage touring partnerships. We gratefully acknowledge the support of Catalyst in investing in this program.
And you too can get on board in supporting our artists, with our new subscription packages offering a host of benefits including discounted tickets, booking flexibility and invitations to events. We hope you had a great break and look forward to seeing you all at the theatre for LIFETIME GUARANTEE.
