In 2023, we are highlighting the new work that you make possible with the giving theme—The New Now. The New Now means over 20 new script commissions by leading emerging, daring, political, social and cultural voices are supported every year. That means working with artists who reflect our contemporary society—who tell stories that speak to truth, culture and community, empowered on the Malthouse stage.
That means urgency. Urgency to keep up with new idea development now, through space, exploration, and expertise, pushing the art form of theatre.
New work, new voices and new perspectives power the Malthouse legacy of unapologetic, representative, and entertaining work. Without the new ideas of Melbourne’s artists and community, we stop. Please help us to keep moving.

Each year we commission emerging and established theatre-makers to tell Australian stories from new perspectives, sitting at the cutting edge of new Australian theatre.
By commissioning emerging and established Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander theatre-makers, we champion new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander work on our stages.
Through residencies, workshops and artist placements, we provide essential creative support to 200+ artists each year.
Young audiences and young artists are a vital part of our creative community. We offer an array of curriculum aligned productions, workshops and events for students that stir the imagination in our next generation.
The Stories of M digital archive is the living history of Malthouse, where we showcase the incredible 40+ year history of our company. Every month we commission artists and writers to reflect on our stories and connect our past to our future.
