Expressions of interest

The Cube Wodonga complimentary ticket program

We’re looking for local not-for-profit organisations who would be interested in receiving complimentary tickets for shows presented by The Cube Wodonga for the purpose of distributing to clients who are vulnerable or currently facing challenging circumstances.

With researched evidence of improved mental health and educational benefits in people who attend theatre performances, our goal is to make tickets accessible to those in our community who might not typically have access to them – and with your help we can do this!

What you need to know

Background

The Cube Wodonga programs approximately 20 season performances each year, providing a diverse selection of performances including comedy, children’s shows, physical theatre (circus), dance, contemporary music, drama and musical theatre.

The Cube Wodonga wants to make sure that their programming and performances are accessible to the whole community, as there is researched evidence of improved mental health and educational benefits in people who attend theatre performances.

The Cube Wodonga’s ticketing policy allows for an allocation of complimentary tickets for each of The Cube Season shows, to enable the provision of accessible tickets to those members of the community who may be disadvantaged or vulnerable and to drive a positive social and cultural outcome.
