If you’ve ever enjoyed a show at Downstage - you’re a backer.

If you’ve ever admired the Downstage inventiveness and sense of adventure - you’re a backer.

Even if you are just pleased that Downstage is a vibrant part of the cultural fabric of Wellington - then you’re a backer too.

Downstage Theatre has many great supporters in Wellington; people who are prepared to back a theatre that has put so much into the community for more than 45 years.

Our backers are our lifeblood. Traditional sources such as government funding and ticket sales only cover a portion of Downstage’s productions and infrastructure. Financial support from the community has always been and continues to be vital.

At Downstage, we’re always looking for new backers: special people like you, prepared to make a contribution so that Downstage continues to showcase ground-breaking performances, as well as contribute to Wellington’s reputation as a cultural capital.

By becoming a Downstage Backer you are part of a community backing our artistic success and making a valuable contribution to New Zealand’s contemporary theatre.

You can make a secure credit card donation online now, by clicking here. You’ll receive our grateful thanks and we’ll keep you posted on what we’re up to, showing you how your contribution is helping.
