Your generous donation will support young performing artists and will build and enrich the cultural life of Toowoomba.
If your life has been enriched by the performing arts, you may consider including the Empire Theatres as a beneficiary in your Will. Through the generous bequests of those like the late Brian Boak, a staunch supporter of the performing arts on the Darling Downs, we have been able to provide priceless opportunities for performing artists in our region and throughout the nation through our bursaries.
