Support the Future of Theatre – Donate to Holden Street Theatres

At Holden Street Theatres, we create bold, award-winning theatre that inspires, challenges, and champions South Australian talent. From the critically acclaimed Looped, A Cheery Soul, and That Boy, to nurturing new voices and launching careers, we’ve built a reputation as The Home of Theatre; one of Adelaide’s most important independent producing houses.

In 2025, we’re raising funds to support our main stage productions, to invest in the development of our company and support artists and the creation of new Australian works, set to premiere in 2026.

Why We Need You

We’re running on tiny budgets, supported by a tireless volunteer team and personal contributions. Every show we produce is a labour of love — built from scratch, often using second-hand costumes and props, repurposed sets, and sheer determination. We’ve proven we can deliver high-quality theatre on a shoestring, but to keep going — and growing — we need help.

Your donation goes directly to:

• Artist wages and fees

• Sets, costumes, props & materials

• Marketing and promotion

• Administration and production support

• New work development

• Keeping our doors open as a producing house, not just a venue for hire

Whether it’s a one-off gift, a regular donation across the year, or a larger sum to help us plan further ahead and secure rights earlier — every dollar matters.

What Your Support Enables

• Affordable, professional-standard theatre in your backyard

• More opportunities for emerging and established artists

• The development of original South Australian stories

• Stronger touring pathways through national and international co-productions

• A sustainable, thriving home for independent performance in Adelaide

We’ve built something special — and we want to keep building it, with you.

Donate today and be part of a bold vision for the future.

Let’s keep the lights on, the curtains rising, and the stories flowing.

Together, we can make it happen.
