Begging for it

The Loons have found a new home!

Now we need your help to fit it out

Like so many people, we lost our home in the Christchurch earthquakes. But now we've found a new space. We're partnering with the Ministry of Education to build a theatre on the new Lyttelton school campus. And we need your help to make it happen.

Tell us about this theatre then...

The Loons theatre spectaculars you know and love will return to Christchurch. But that's not all. The space will be used by children to learn drama and dance as part of the Loons in Schools educational program. Our vision is to offer a top class performing arts education to the children of Christchurch and take New Zealand talent to the world.

The theatre will also be a much needed performance venue for touring companies, live music, community events, and school theatre. It's going to be an amazing resource for our children, our community, and the performing arts.

So how do we make it happen?

We've already raised nearly $200,000 to fit the space out as a professional theatre. But we need to raise another $70,000 to pay for retractable theatre seating. So we're sharing our challenge with everyone, and by everyone we mean you!

Let's do the maths

Every dollar helps, so whether you can give $10 or $10,000 please donate today.

-    If 1,000 amazing people give $70 we're home and hosed
-    If 1,400 generous people give $50 we're sweet as
-    If 2,334 excellent people give $30 we're laughing

Once you've donated, become part of the Loons crew and help us spread the word. Tell your Mum. Tell your mates. Tell your colleagues. We've only got 40 days to make this happen, and if we don't make our target, we don't get a cent.

We can't make this happen without you!

We're begging for it and we need your help.
