Annand Theatre 2020

OUR SCHOOL, YOUR FAMILY, OUR TSS HISTORY – Take Your Seat

From where the historic theatre once stood, a bold new structure has emerged – the final stage in the future growth of our school.

The new Annand Theatre will soon deliver an innovative and inspiring learning and performance space that will allow the TSS community to come together and connect like never before. A place to foster collaborative thinking, showcase positive achievements and celebrate a new level of performing arts.

Take your place in our history by making a lasting and meaningful gift to the final stage of the Annand Theatre. Your donation will be acknowledged through the allocation of a named seat plaque. A lasting legacy in honour or memory of yourself, your family or someone special. Through our interactive platform, donors have the ability to select a seat within the theatre and provide details of your preferred inscription.

If you wish to contribute to this campaign and be recognised through a named plaque, click ‘Donate Now‘ to ‘Take Your Seat’. For more information about the Annand Theatre,  contact [email protected]

 

* Dedicating a seat does not guarantee the allocation of that seat when attending any activity within the Annand Theatre. Your contribution is a charitable donation and does not give you legal ownership of the seat and all plaque content is subject to approval by the School.

Key features of the design include:

  • A 1,200 seat auditorium delivering enhanced audience sight lines
  • Transparent and expansive foyer and event spaces
  • Flexible and practical music and drama spaces for rehearsals, performances and recording
  • An intimate and relaxed amphitheatre for smaller group performances
  • High-end audio visual facilities including an active acoustic system providing cutting-edge sound technology.
