Dunstan Playhouse | Name A Seat


For the first time ever, seats in the iconic Dunstan Playhouse are up for naming!

Adelaide Festival Centre Foundation invites you to secure your seat and make your Name-A-Seat donation now before our public campaign officially launches for AusArt Day on Thursday 23 October 2025.

Imagine your name, or the name of someone special, proudly displayed in one of Adelaide’s most beloved theatres. It's a meaningful and lasting way to celebrate your love of the arts, honour a loved one, or mark a milestone with a tribute that will last for years to come.

Please note, the Dunstan Playhouse will be undergoing renovations from July 2025 to March 2026. If you purchase a plaque during this time, it'll be placed on one of the new seats, and your term will kick off when the theatre reopens.

Your naming options:

  • $1,000 Individual for 3 years
  • $3,000 Individual for 25 years
  • $5,000 Corporate for 25 years

By making a tax-deductible donation, you will be helping Adelaide Festival Centre make the arts accessible to all South Australians.

Alternatively, get in touch with our Philanthropy Department at (08) 8216 8826 or send an email to foundation@adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au and they will assist you in selecting your seat.

All named seat donations are 100% tax deductible and count towards your lifetime giving at Adelaide Festival Centre.
