Griffin Studio

The Griffin Studio is where Griffin’s artists and supporters come together to share the journey of developing the best new Australian theatre.

Created to make a tangible difference and kick start the careers of our brightest young writers and directors, the Studio will train the artistic leaders of the future and help to ensure the health of the whole industry.

Studio Supporters are invited to take an active role in the Studio over a three year period. This enables supporters to be directly involved in the careers of 12 artists and see the fruits of their support on the Griffin stage. Studio Supporters make an annual tax-deductible donation of $5,000 p.a to the Griffin Foundation. Studio Syndicate donations of up to 5 people per syndicate are also welcomed.

If you would like to be a Studio Supporter, please contact our Development Manager, Michelle Newton, on 9332 1052 or on philanthropy@griffintheatre.com.au.
