Bursaries
on offer
The Empire Theatres Foundation release a number of bursaries for young performers annually and biennially with the focus on professional development and excelling excellence.
#Youth Bursaries
The Youth Bursaries offer the opportunity for creative people ages 12-25 to undertake short courses at leading Australian performing arts educational institutions.

With the aim of furthering the cultural experience and assisting in developing the skills of our future artists and performers who are currently demonstrating involvement and achievement in their artistic discipline, Youth Bursaries are offered annually to further assist up-and-coming artists in developing their skills with a recognised Australian education institution.
Disciplines including acting, dance, filmmaking, classical music and more have been on offer for young performers.
#Help put dreams on stage
The Bursaries on offer are only possible through the work of The Empire Theatres Foundation - established in 2003, the foundation is committed to supporting the future of the arts. By donating towards the foundation, your support can further help our young performing artists to build and enrich the cultural life of our region.
It is through the generous donations and bequests of those like the late Brian Boak, we have been able to provide priceless opportunities for performing artists in our region and throughout the nation.
