Join a Donor Group
You can play a starring role with State Theatre Company South Australia by directly supporting specific areas of interest through our three dedicated giving circles – the Commissioning Collective, Dramatic Women and Major Production Fund. These donor groups are vital in the commissioning of new works, supporting women in theatre, and investing in large-scale, culturally-significant theatre works. Please find out more below.
Commissioning Collective
2025 membership is now open! You can become a member or renew your membership online here, and stay tuned for an announcement about Commissioning Collective’s 2025 supported production at our upcoming season launch.
Our Commissioning Collective provides an opportunity to nurture new, emerging and established writers, artists, directors, designers and technical crew, and commission original plays and new adaptations for South Australian audiences.

Since 2002, this fabulous group of inspiring women have supported State Theatre Company South Australia. Over the past 20+ years, Dramatic Women have collectively supported outstanding artists and helped bring great theatrical works to the stage.
In 2024, Dramatic Women supported Julia by Joanna Murray-Smith.
Major Production Fund
In 2024, the Company will establish a Major Production Fund seeking contributions to allow us to continue to invest in large-scale, large-cast productions. Anchored around a major gift from one or more Fund Patrons, the Company aims to match those major gifts through other donations from a syndicate of Fund Supporters. We understand our audience wants us to aspire to greatness and deliver large-scale productions, and this Fund will substantially aid that cause.
In 2024 the Major Production Fund will support Jack Maggs by Samuel Adamson, based on the novel by Peter Carey.
To become a member of this donor group, please call our Development team on 8415 5333 or email development@statetheatrecompany.com.au
