Western Australian Theatre Development Initiative

Supports the production and performance of outstanding professional theatre in Western Australia. The program offers grants for applications up to $100,000.

This program has been revised due to COVID-19.
Find out more about the changes to the program by viewing the
Western Australian Theatre Development Initiative guidelines.

The initiative encourages the development of a vibrant and sustainable Western Australian theatre sector by supporting high quality professional productions in the mid-tier sector. Successful proposals will include a clear audience development strategy, provide professional development opportunities for WA theatre practitioners and offer the potential to tour regionally and/or nationally.
