Support Us
Theatre Aquarius stages a stunning season of plays each year from September to May. Whether you are an individual wishing to become a patron or make a donation, or a company seeking sponsorship opportunities, your support is invaluable to our continuing efforts to deliver exceptional plays to the widest possible audience. Theatre Aquarius is able to operate a low price policy on its theatre tickets thanks to the generous support of our donors, corporate and government partners.
Individual Giving
“Plays are an abstract version of ideas. Any visit to the theatre should not only please as entertainment, but it should also trigger talk. I think the idea of their use … in our society is that they trigger ideas. That’s why we need to support the high arts.”
Christopher Newton

At Theatre Aquarius we create great theatre experiences. Producing powerful, relevant and entertaining theatre, however, has a cost. As theatre is a collaborative art form, we invite you to play a starring role as a donor. Join the Theatre Aquarius family and help us ensure that ideas keep flowing from our stages.
Your donation allows us to:
- tell great stories…stories that trigger talk and trigger ideas that can transform lives and transform our community
- open our doors wide so that everyone can experience live professional Theatre Aquarius
- educate the next generation of theatre audiences
