Canberra Theatre Centre is very conscious of its role within the
broader community. From actively enticing works to the Centre to
enrich the cultural life of the community to dedicated programs
aiding access, here is short summary of how the Centre plays its
role.
PRESENTING SHOWS
Be it within the Centre's annual Subscription and Playtime
seasons or for stand alone events Canberra Theatre Centre invests
money to ensure that shows of national and international
significance are presented to local patrons. The Centre also
actively works with commercial hirers to ensure that work of
substance comes to Canberra. If it were not for these efforts the
cultural life of the nation's capital would be dramatically
reduced.
ACCESS & SPECIAL ASSISTANCE
Canberra Theatre Centre offers a wide range of access and
special assistance initiatives for theatre patrons including audio
described and live captioned performances, FM Radio hearing
assistance loops, mobility assistance and special seating requests.
And of course concession prices are available for most shows on
sale. Click here to find out more.
MUSIC AT MIDDAY
Canberra Theatre Centre together with the Royal Military College
Band host Music at Midday Concerts six times a year, with proceeds
supporting many local charities. This program is the Centre's
primary fundraising and community support activity. Find out
details for the next concert by clicking here.
SOCIAL CAPITAL PROGRAM
The Canberra Theatre Centre believes that people from all walks
of life should be able to experience great Theatre. Through the
support of the Canberra Tradesman's Union Club, the Centre
purchases tickets to a range of shows on at the Centre and
distributes these to preferred charities to distribute to those
they support.
CHILDREN AND EDUCATION
Every year Canberra Theatre Centre presents the Playtime season
of schools and children's performances. Through our groups booking
service we aim to assist teachers as much as possible with the
organising of their school visit in order to expose students to
valuable performing arts experiences. And of course the scheduling
of school holiday entertainment extends these learning
opportunities outside of school into an environment that
parents and children can learn and be entertained
together.
UNDER 27 PRICES
Canberra Theatre Centre understands that many young people have
trouble finding the money to see great theatre. Many are still
studying, working part time or are just entering the workforce.
Realising that the young people of today are the cultural and
community leaders of tomorrow, the Centre aims to provide a special
Under 27 prices to all shows it presents and encourages venue
hirers to do the same. Look for Under 27 prices advertised with
individual events.
