Donate to the MTC Foundation and help transform lives on and off stage.
Supporting MTC brings people together to laugh, debate, and dream in response to the finest theatre imaginable.
Many of our ticket buyers are surprised to learn that MTC, as a not-for-profit organisation, receives only 9% (net) of income from government funding. We rely on the generosity of our highly valued donor community to create and ensure everyone has access to exceptional home-grown theatre, year after year.
Help us champion the power of live storytelling through supporting programs to develop new Australian works, cultivate emerging artists and engage young audiences.
