This End of Financial Year, we invite you to make a tax-deductible donation and help bring more extraordinary stories to life.

Every great production begins with a story.

Sometimes it starts as a conversation, a bold idea, or a young artist with something important to say. We work hard to bring these stories to life on our stages – connecting audiences through laughter, emotion, imagination and shared experience.

At Merrigong Theatre Company, we’re committed to developing new Australian theatre, supporting local artists, inspiring young people, championing inclusivity, and strengthening our First Nations program. These programs don’t just create theatre – they create opportunities, spark creativity, and foster a sense of belonging throughout our community.

As a not-for-profit theatre company, community support plays a vital role in helping us continue creating ambitious work and unforgettable live experiences for the Illawarra and beyond.

When you sit in the audience and watch a story unfold on stage, you can proudly say:
“I helped make this happen.”

Support Merrigong Theatre Company this EOFY and Be Part of the Story.

Thank you for helping live theatre continue to thrive in our community.

Merrigong is dedicated to delivering experiences that are relevant and impactful to the diverse people of our region. We invest in a range of programs with community groups, schools and artists that deliver tangible outcomes through paid residencies, employment and the development of new theatre work.

There are many ways that you can support this work, from tax-deductible donations, to corporate partnerships, to becoming part of our team of highly-valued volunteers. Your contribution can help us build a brighter future for artists, audiences and our community.

As a not-for-profit theatre company donations play a critical role in supporting our mission. Your contribution directly fuels our ongoing investment in artists, programs with community groups and the creation of new works for the stage.

Today, your vital donation can open doors for the next generation, enabling us to share compelling stories that define Australia and authentically reflect our diverse community. Together, we can make a profound impact on our community through the power of storytelling.
