The revenue we generate through ticket sales is reinvested in our main stage season. But there are a lot more activities that go on behind the scenes that many people do not know about that need philanthropic support. These activities include;

WELCOMING CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES 

Something On Saturday Foundation    

Something on Saturdays Foundation Corner Art Workshops

An important part of our audience development program is offering free and engaging workshops for children at Something on Saturdays Foundation Kids Corner for children aged three -10 years from May to September every year. These free workshops provide a different art activity each week, linked to the performance. They encourage creativity and are an important investment in the audiences of today and the future.
