Help Us Build the Backyard!
The theatre is booked, and we’re ready to bring Plant-based Musical to the stage at the Capital in Bendigo. Right now, our core focus is securing the foundational funding required to build our on-stage backyard — ensuring the set and costume designs match the vision we have for the show.
To ensure absolute financial transparency and accountability, we are running our fundraising campaign through the Australian Cultural Fund (ACF). The ACF is managed by Creative Australia and is endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) by the Australian Tax Office. This means that every individual or corporate contribution over $2 is fully tax-deductible.
Your support directly funds the creative infrastructure and materials needed to showcase Bendigo's finest local talent.

About the show
What if the trees, shrubs and flowers in your garden could talk, sing and dance, and you never knew? What if they all had their own personalities, hopes and dreams?
Some people nurture their gardens, but not all of us have green thumbs. Others don’t really want a garden at all, and pave them to make way for other activities. How would the plants react to that? What would they do in the face of an existential threat?

It’s very difficult to get a new original musical off the ground. As they say, it takes a village to raise a theatre production.
