Support deckchair
Deckchair launches new giving program
On the 28th of August, deckchair launched its new Individual Giving Program.
The program was launched by Dr Carmen Lawrence who spoke of the importance of supporting local theatre.
Beautiful performances by two of Western Australia’s finest musicians, Peter Grayling and Cathie Travers made the evening a night to remember, and Artistic Director Chris Bendall followed with a passionate speech about the future of the company, part of which you can read on the program link to the right.
Every bit of support counts so that we can fulfil our vision for the company and for the theatre community here in Fremantle. Each donation, small or large is of enormous benefit to us, and donations over $2 are tax deductible.
To become a part of our Individual Giving Program please download the brochure below. For more information please contact Lizzie on +61 8 9430 4771 or at lcoles@deckchairtheatre.com.au
