To make Darlo a theatre for everyone, we need everyone’s help.

This EOFY, we ask for your support so we can continue as Sydney’s home of bold, ambitious, impactful cultural experiences. With 2% of our income derived from annual government funding, we rely on ticket sales and our incredible supporters to donate as generously as they can, to help us reach the other 98%, with a tax-deductible donation. We are incredibly proud of our small but mighty team, and marvel at what they are able to achieve.

To support DTC is to invest in the vision and careers of exceptional artists to make exceptional new work. It is an investment in industry leadership in access, equity, inclusion and representational programming. To support DTC is to invest in the cultural life of our city and our nation.

What people are saying about Darlo

Darlinghurst Theatre Company continue to deliver on inclusive practices at a level unseen elsewhere in so-called Australia. As a queer artist of colour, I feel seen and celebrated through their programming. 
Dean Drieberg, Director of Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812

I have been impressed by the quality and scale of work that the team create, enabling them to grow and enrich audiences with a commercial reach presented alongside more niche productions ,offering a diverse mix of artists and stories across the whole program. 
Virginia Hyam, Home of the Arts (HOTA)

Once is a musical that might make you cry – it’s wistful and hopeful and hard, like a lot of life – but it brings with it a sense of release… This production reaches out and touches a reassuring hand to your shoulder and says yes, me too, but we can get through it together.
