Milk Crate Theatre

Milk Crate Theatre aims to effect social change through the power of performance. Our vision is for people with diverse lived experiences to have equal access to the transformational power of the arts, are genuine producers of their own narratives and actively take part in shaping Australian culture. Our programs are run for, with and by members of the community that are generally living with, have experienced or are at risk of homelessness and/or housing instability; living with mental health or disability support needs; have experienced domestic violence, or come from First Nations and/or Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities including those who are newly arrived, refugees or seeking asylum. Milk Crate Theatre works within a Community Arts and Cultural Development (CACD) model, meaning our working is community centred and collaborative. Professional practicing artists facilitate programs and projects where participants are encouraged to contribute ideas, share stories and engage in creative expression within a safe and supported environment. Our work offers audiences a new lens through which to view some of society's most pressing issues, both challenging and expanding perspectives to inspire positive change in the world.
