MILK CRATE THEATRE LAUNCHES 2024-2028 STRATEGIC PLAN

Next year will see Milk Crate Theatre celebrate 25-years of creating provocative performance works created by, with and for people with diverse backgrounds and complex lived experiences. As we reach this milestone, we have taken the time to reflect, consult with our community and map out a bold new future.

This new strategic plan builds upon our strengths in artistic and creative innovation, along with our expertise in driving social impact to inspire a courageous and some might even say audacious plan.

That empowers our vision to ensure that all people have equal access to the transformational power of the arts, are genuine producers of their own narratives and actively take part in shaping Australian culture.

Over the next five years, we will grow opportunities for individuals who are disadvantaged or marginalised to engage in creative practice; we will introduce new creative streams including a film/digital arm, we will actively increase opportunities for paid employment including launching a new social enterprise to provide workshops and event support for corporates and of course we look provide stronger engagement opportunities for our audiences with active engagement with schools and relationships with corporates which will see us activate some of the many screens you see around the CBD with works from our community.

We will continue to invest in our Social Impact framework and measurement, enabling us to share the real impacts of our work on the community and shape programs that make a difference in the lives of people in the communities we work.

And finally, we commit to implementing a new business model which will see Milk Crate Theatre thrive well into the future.

We are really excited about our next chapter and invite you to join us on this journey!
