Support NORPA

MAKE A DONATION

For over 30 years Northern Rivers Performing Arts (NORPA) has been a theatre maker, a producer, a presenter and former venue manager of Lismore City Hall. We have entertained, connected and engaged with our regional audiences, challenging them with the new and the extraordinary, and contributed to the national discourse with stories from regional Australia.

Underpinning our successes has been philanthropic gifts to the NORPA Foundation, established as a charitable entity to support four key pillars of NORPA’s work as:

  1. Makers of new works: Creating original theatre inspired by place to offer unique experiences for local and visiting audiences and, very importantly, contributing to Australia’s collective cultural landscape.
  2. Believers in First Nations stories and artists: Committed to new works and professional opportunities through residencies, workshops, commissions and presentations.
  3. Inspirers of young people: Offering developments and training in performance skills to share their own stories and build connections with their community.
  4. Creative curators: Securing the capital infrastructure necessary to manage a theatre company and a cultural hub for the Northern Rivers.

 

Ensure NORPA’s continued success by making a gift to the NORPA Foundation today.
