Private Giving – Thank you
Patrons
Founding Patron, Janet Holmes à Court AC has played a significant role in assisting young Western Australians by giving annually to support Black Swan’s commissioning program and its educational activities. Her generosity and support over many years is highly appreciated and has provided a platform for the future development of Black Swan and the overall theatre experience.
The generous contribution of Andrew and Nicola Forrest to Black Swan is assisting our future development and security as Western Australia’s State Theatre Company. Their support will underpin the future growth and development of Black Swan’s core artistic program and help retain our local artists in WA. Nicola Forrest has also been honoured as Black Swan's Number 1 Subscriber for 2012 and 2013.
