We are SO excited. Patch Theatre is experiencing surging demand to present its spectacular productions both nationally and internationally. Your support is vital in ensuring we can embrace every opportunity, push creative boundaries with daring new works, and share them with audiences far and wide.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference and all are gratefully received.

You can support us in creating the BEST DAYS for children or help us tour our shows to Reach the Regions.

 Your contribution is key to us fulfilling our vision to deliver world class theatre across the globe which captures the curiosity of a child, wraps it in magic and ignites imagination.

Kindness looks good on you! ❤️

Children often tell us “That was the best day EVER!" after experiencing the magical world of a Patch performance.

Our mission is to continue making exceptional live performances for children and we invite you to join us in making this happen. Join us in creating 'the best days of their lives' for children everywhere by making a gift to Patch!

Your gift will be directed into the three streams of Patch Theatre's work: in-theatre, installation, in-schools.

Here at Patch, we believe that every child, no matter their geographic location or background, deserves the opportunity to engage in the arts – to have fun, express themselves, tap into their creativity and feel a little magic. Sadly, many children in regional and remote areas are missing out.

We need your support to give children living in regional and remote Australia access to arts experiences. Help us cover the costs of taking our work on the road so we can reach the most disadvantaged young people living in regional and remote parts of SA and beyond.

Patch Theatre has been making professional theatre for 4–8 year old children and their families from our home on Kaurna Yerta, in South Australia since 1972. We’ve produced over 100 unique works and performed them to over 2 million children around the world. Each year we provide inspirational, design-rich theatre experiences to 50,000 children.

We create world-class performances that explore the way that children see the world, acknowledging the relevance of their thinking with stories that promote imagination, wonder and discovery. Our works celebrate big ideas and explore some of the world’s inexplicable questions from a child’s point of view.

Patch Theatre is eternally grateful for the passionate community of generous supporters who make our work possible. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our State and Federal Government funders, trusts and foundations, partners and individual donors. This support enables us to continue to provide enriching, high-quality performances that delight and inspire young audiences both here in Australia and across the globe. We are so appreciative!
