The Operating Theatre Trust

The Operating Theatre Trust aims to make top-quality New Zealand theatre accessible to all children and young people, inspiring in them a love of performing arts.

They received $1,500 to cover the cost of sending 40 children from the Kelston Deaf Education Centre to the annual Tim Bray Santa Clause show with an interpreter.

The trust has a responsibility to ensure all children have access to theatre and this means fulfilling a specific need for children who may not be able to attend regular theatre productions.
