Say hello to our Production Coordinator, Eloise! 👋

Eloise comes to Patch with an amazing background spanning film, TV and theatre — we couldn't be happier to have her on the team.

She has already hit the ground running. Right now you'll find her working her magic behind the scenes on Wonderverse at Vivid, and she'll be back at it again when Me & My Shadow hits the stage in Adelaide in August.

Company manager, tour tech, lighting magician, keeper of snacks, wrangler of rosters, front of house guru and all-round great gal ☺️

One piece of string. Endless stories.
Introducing our new SPARK in-school show IT'S A STRING THING 🧵

A performer arrives at your school with a mysterious box. From inside, an ever-changing string emerges — soft, bumpy, squishy, stretchy and full of surprises. As it grows and transforms, it becomes a playful guide through absurd, abstract and wildly imaginative stories that children help shape.

Performed to one class at a time, It's a String Thing is an up-close experience where every child can engage in their own way.
And the magic doesn't stop when the show does — a companion picture book and creative activities stay behind in the classroom long after we've packed up our box.

Designed for students in Preschool – Year 1. Available now for schools in Adelaide and metro areas.

Be one of the first to bring this show to your students!

Chookas to our wonderful Wonderverse team who are opening our season Vivid Sydney today! 🪐

We’ve been working hard and perfecting everything behind the scenes to make sure we create the best experiences for our lucky audiences over the next three weeks.
Preview audiences have loved our immersive installation at Australian National Maritime Museum so if you’re in or around Gadigal Country / Sydney make sure you don’t miss out!

We’re halfway through our season of The Lighthouse in Singapore!
We’re having an amazing time sharing the show with local children, families and schools, as well as taking some time to enjoy the festival and catching some of the other spectacular performances around the city.

Meanwhile, Creative Producer Sasha has been attending the International Society for the Performing Arts Congress where she participated on a panel all about the creation of work. She also took part in a program focussed on the preserving and minimising of food waste and celebrating the sharing of food in storytelling. 💙

We think this says it all!
What a two weeks we had taking our SPARK show Glow & Tell across the Eyre Peninsula — from Whyalla to Yalata, we shared it with over 1,700 students in schools across the region. 🌟🚗🏫

None of this could have happened without the generous support of our funders and donors — a huge thank you to the BankSA Foundation and everyone who gave a gift to help us Reach the Regions. This is what your generosity does. 💙

Limestone Coast, we're coming for you later this year. We cannot wait!

Chookas to the Patch team who are opening The Lighthouse today at the Singapore International Festival of Arts! 🔦🏠

We have had an amazing time in Singapore so far checking out the sights, eating some amazing food and bumping the show in to our amazing venue at The Old Parliament building. It really feels quite magical to use this venue in a whole new way and transport audiences to our palace of light. Can’t wait for the festival to begin!

"What is a friend?" We put the big questions to Hugo, 9 and Mila, 6 and, honestly, we couldn't have said it better ourselves!

"Having a friend means you have someone you can talk to and they can look after you." 💙

From the minds of Patch Theatre creatives Geoff Cobham, Dave Brown, Zoë Barry, Roz Hervey, Bob Weatherly, Astrid Pill and Nathan O’Keefe, Helpmann award winning ME & MY SHADOW explores the joys and trials of friendship.

We're halfway through our SPARK regional tour of the Eyre Peninsula and what a journey it's been so far! 🚗 🌟

We have seen hundreds of children, travelled countless kilometres and experienced more meaningful moments than we can count. To every school, teacher and student who has opened their doors and welcomed us so warmly into your community, thank you!

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of the BankSA Foundation and everyone who has contributed to our Reaching the Regions campaign. Together we are breaking down the barriers that too often limit access to quality arts experiences and the education outcomes that come with them for children in regional South Australia.

The second half of the tour awaits and we cannot wait to meet the rest of you.

Our Reaching the Regions campaign is still open for gifts if you would like to be part of this journey.

Oh hey, there’s a familiar face!
Shout out to all round legend Dylan Miller, who you can catch in MOSS PIGLET by Windmill Production Company this weekend!

If Dylan looks familiar to you, then maybe you caught him during our regional tour of Wonderverse last year. Great guy.

We’re so lucky to have him collaborating across both companies. If you’ve seen him on stage lately, you’ll know exactly why we’re such big fans.
