Our productions provide opportunities for volunteers to take on crew and performance roles, and to develop essential skills in directing, acting, stage managing, front-of-house, lighting design, sound design, and set design and construction. This financial support allows us to have a stronger, richer impact on our community because we'll have more ways for volunteers to experience the theatre production process, and higher-quality local theatre experiences for audiences as it will make essential elements of a production, such as venue hire, accessible to us.
By expanding the knowledge base and experiences of our theatre community in Ballarat and offering foundational opportunities for them, Ballarat National Theatre is helping to build a more vibrant and inclusive community for all.
