Queensland Theatre
About the organisation
Queensland Theatre has enriched the lives of artists and audiences throughout Queensland and across Australia for over 50 years as they share world class productions and special programs with communities throughout Queensland and around the world.
Queensland Theatre’s Youth & Education department is one of the strongest and widest reaching in the country and runs a vast range of projects year in year out which engage young people in the arts.
Our commitment
The Rekindle Foundation has agreed to support Queensland Theatre across a three-year period, where it will provide funding of up to $150,000 per year to support the Scene Project and the Landmarks Production Fund.
Key Programs
Suitable for Years 7-12, The Scene Project is Queensland Theatre’s largest educational offering. It builds connection, wellbeing and collaboration by empowering participants to engage in the creative process of theatre making in a way that resonates with them and their community. From work experience opportunities and residency weeks, the incredible “Scene Project” works with over 150 schools around the state.
Landmark Productions are more creatively ambitious and on a larger scale than the company’s regular budget would allow. This allows the company to employ a larger number of artists and technicians, whilst also helping to establish Queensland as a large-scale creative engine on the Australian arts landscape.
