“I am forever grateful that State Theatre Company South Australia got to me when I was so young and impressionable – enabling me to see plays our family could not afford in those days. So many of those plays back when I was younger are etched into my mind forever. By leaving a gift in my will, I hope that the same can apply to future generations.” – Valdis Dunis, legacy donor

Leaving a gift in your will is a personal choice – but for our supporter Kathryn, it’s an opportunity to leave a gift that will live on for generations.

A longstanding subscriber and one of the first to become a Silver Subscriber, Kathryn has always valued the magic of live theatre and the community it brings together.

Inspired by a lifelong belief in education, creativity and opportunity, Kathryn has chosen to include State Theatre Company South Australia in her Will. In memory of her late husband, Tom, she is establishing a lasting legacy through a fellowship that will support young and emerging theatre practitioners as they take the next steps in their careers.

For Kathryn, it’s a way of giving back to an art form she loves while helping ensure the next generation of theatre-makers can thrive.
