Help us bring back Winter Nights in 2026
A two-week festival of bold ideas, experimentation, workshops and performance. Your donation will be matched up to $30K by four generous supporters.
Bring Back Winter Nights in 2026 and help us reignite a festival that gives artists the space, support and skills to shape the future of performance. Winter Nights is The Blue Room Theatre’s two‑week mid‑year festival celebrating bold ideas, fearless experimentation and the collaborative spirit of WA performance.
We’re raising funds to bring this beloved program back in 2026, creating vital opportunities for artists to develop new work, test early ideas, build partnerships, and strengthen their practice. Across the festival, artists will take part in workshops, showings, performances, talks and industry gatherings, an essential environment for risk‑taking and creative growth.
Our goal is to raise $30,000 by EOFY, and thanks to our generous matched donors Susan Cotton, Sue McDonald, Mark Hately, Mark Beyer & Danielle Nockolds, every dollar donated will be doubled, turning $30,000 into $60,000 of direct investment in artists and the festival’s return.
