Support Us

Basement Theatre is where the ideas, artists and arts leaders of tomorrow are being formed. We are hell-bent on supporting artists to develop their craft and build sustainable careers.

We need your help to make this happen. There are a number of easy ways you can donate:

  • Donate a minimum of $1000 and join our patron programme, Basement Lovers

  • Join our loyalty membership programme, Basement Mates

  • If you're an organisation, you can sponsor or partner with us

  • Give a one-off to us at an amount of your choice

Money raised from donations will go directly towards our running costs as a non-profit performing arts venue or supporting the Basement community.
