🌟 This EOFY, we’ve got big news — and even bigger dreams!!! 🌟
Just in time for EOFY, we’re thrilled to announce that Curious Legends now has Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status! For us as a Not-For-Profit organisation and registered charity, this is huge – because it means that your donations over $2 are now tax-deductible – and directly fuel our wild world of giant puppets, glowing sea creatures, and community-powered magic!
From illuminated whales swimming through city streets to our newest immersive dreamscape, The Sea Dome, we’re pushing what’s possible in theatre — and bringing it out to the community, transforming everyday spaces into realms of wonder.
If you’ve ever been moved by our work – the illuminated whales, the playful ibises, our dancing giants and cheeky bushclowns, shadow puppets, if you’ve witnessed the buzz in the air of excitable children performing alongside us, or the joy on their faces creating in our workshops – with the end of financial year around the corner, now is the perfect time to make a genuine impact and help us do more.
💛 Why Your Support Matters Now
We’ve seen how powerful our work can be – from the spark in a child’s eye when their lantern puppet lights up, to the collective spirit of a community coming together under our glowing giants. But we can’t do it alone, and here’s the real talk: delivering high-quality spectacle at the scale we envision is hard right now. We have the creative team, the skills, the vision, the drive — but not always the resources to match. With more support, we could take our work so much further, and we’re calling on our community to help us
- Bring our giant puppets and immersive shows to regional and remote communities that rarely get to experience live performance and tour ambitious new work
- Deliver free and low-cost workshops for kids and families in areas where access to the arts is limited or non-existent.
- Expand programs like Beyond Boundaries – which brings inclusive theatre workshops to students, empowering young people with access to the creative and performing arts
- Support employment pathways for young and emerging artists – through mentorships, internships, and professional creative development opportunities – building a stronger, more diverse future for the arts in Australia.
We’ve achieved so much in the past year – we have taken our work to Queensland, Western Australia and even Taiwan, and gathered the community here for Whale Song on Newcastle Beach, and in Port Macquarie. We also launched our Beyond Boundaries program in collaboration with Newcastle Parkour- delivering 8 weeks of parkour, arts and drama content to disadvantaged students in the Newcastle area.
👉 This EOFY, let’s do something extraordinary and take it even further! Donate before June 30 and help us reach further, shine brighter, and make magic in places where it’s needed most – every dollar counts and helps us dream bigger!
From all of us at Curious Legends — thank you so much for supporting our work an for helping us keep the magic burning bright. We literally cannot do this without you.
We are a Not-For-Profit organisation and a registered charity with DGR status. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible and will receive a tax receipt.
