SUPPORT US

Help us realize our vision

  • We’re preparing to gear up and take our work to the wider world.
  • Our goal is to film our productions in super high quality and make them videos available on-demand to schools across Australia. 
  • We need a range of business financial, technical, academic and creative skills for this to happen.
  • We also plan to share our work more widely with adults and other organisations. 
  • We have been invited to conferences and are super keen to attend but there are costs and logistics.
  • We’ve been invited to collaborate with Sydney based A.T.Y.P. ( the Australian Theatre for Young People).
  • We have plans for a post-school, young adult cast who could tour professionally and take our shows further afield in Australia
  • We need to build on and maintain our existing repertoire.  Re-funding a production is difficult despite school requests for reruns to benefit the next year group.
  • To establish new connections and strengthen existing relationships with major organisations such as:
    • Headspace
    • NSW Health
    • SAE Institute
    • Griffith University
    • Southern Cross University
    • NSW Department of Education and Training
    • WayAhead
    • Social Futures
    • and others but are always keen to expand our reach.
  • To continue our support of young artists in areas such as photography, graphic design, lighting technician, sound technician, costume making, make-up artists, film-makers, editors etc.

With donations

We are thrilled to share we have created an Australian Cultural Fund which means we can receive TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS.

Click on the link above to our specific current fundraiser for OUR HOME HOLIDAY TOWN, our NEW production in partnership with Centre for Children and Young People, Southern Cross University

Your donations will be put to great use for venue hire, set construction, lighting, costumes, props and transport.  Basically the more we have the more creative we can get!!   Your donations will elevate us to a new level of professionalism and allow us to continue and extend our support of other young creative people in this region who are emerging artists.  For many we provide an opportunity to land their first paid job so you will be directly involved in promoting local employment in the arts.  

Here are some amazing young people we have already worked with:

Harry O’Meara – Lighting Designer and Technician  (20 yrs) Harry’s dream has exploded by working with Byron Youth Theatre

Myla Yeomans – Graphic Designer (19 yrs)

Myla is a talented emerging graphic designer – here’s her poster for our show, Broken in 2016

“Working with BYT on their promotional material gave me valuable experience and a wonderful insight into the inspiring work they do.

Kaitlyn Booth – Photograher (17 yrs)

“As a young and learning photographer my world has formed into one big camera lens by looking at some objects and thinking about the best way I could use the object in a photo. Photography for me isn’t just holding a camera in one hand but it’s also about upholding a passion, holding my camera in one hand and my passion in the other, Photography for photographers such as myself is like cooks and cooking… You do it cause you love it. As for my first paid photography job for Lisa and the youth theatre group it allowed me to use my passion for the good of them and me. Was awesome to help them out and hope to do more for them in the future.”

Yani Clarke – Photographer (23 yrs)

Whos photography you can see throughout our website

With materials

Fabrics, props, wood, nails, screws, paints, flags, poles, sequins, make-up, hairspray, tea, coffee, cakes??

So far we have kept our productions as simple as possible but if you can help us we can start having much more fun with sets, costumes and props.  None have to be new and we are up for borrowing as well as creating.  Have a beautiful space where we can hold a weekend (day) retreat? That’s one of our visions and we can always use a cake or three to sell at our community events

With time

Can you spare a couple of hours to drive a car load of cast members to a performance venue if parents are busy?  Got a sewing machine and can donate a couple of hours to sew costumes? Help in the kitchen at a community event? Can you put up posters in and around the shire?  We’d love to hear from you.

With skills

Photographer?  Artist? Carpenter? Set designer? Costume maker? Graphic designer? Make-up artist?

We would appreciate your skills enormously when we are creating a production so if you have any of these skills or related please contact us
