DIVA
Some nights in the theatre stay with you for life.
A line, a silence, a moment you felt in your chest long after you left your seat.
Your gift helps make those nights happen.
Help us take DIVA further
We are inviting individuals, families, foundations and organisations
to become part of DIVA’s next chapter.
Creating and touring original Australian theatre takes more than an extraordinary performer, an exceptional director, and a powerful story.
Your support helps us meet the costs of presenting an independent production, including:
Theatre and venue costs
Artists and creative personnel
Production and technical costs
Travel and accommodation
Marketing, publicity and audience development
Insurance and administration
Community engagement and supported access
Future national and international touring
A journey already underway
Our current fundraising goal is to support the Australian seasons and build the foundation for DIVA’s next international chapter.
DIVA premiered in Los Angeles in 2024 before travelling to Edinburgh in 2025, receiving incredible reviews in both cities. Now the journey continues…
SYDNEY

BRISBANE

NEXT STOP: LONDON
Our vision is to take DIVA to London and onwards to Europe, establishing an international life for this uniquely Australian work.
Your support can help make that possible.
