Support NORPA

For almost 30 years, NORPA has entertained, connected and engaged our community, challenging you with the new and the extraordinary, and inspiring you with stories from the country and culture around us.

The recent floods devastated our home, the Lismore City Hall. Your support is essential to help us rebuild and renew.

Your donation to our Flood Relief appeal will directly support NORPA to continue making original Australian theatre, supporting First Nations artists, local artists, and our youth and schools engagement programs.

We are makers

NORPA is one of only a few regional theatre companies in Australia that creates original theatre inspired by place. This work creates unique experiences for local and visiting audiences and, very importantly, contributes to Australia's collective cultural landscape.
