A new shiny strategic plan

We are thrilled to present Monkey Baa’s 2025-28 Strategic Plan, marking a new chapter of creative development and impact of our work on the lives of young people.

For 27 years, we’ve worked tirelessly to create meaningful theatre experiences. It hasn’t been easy—we’ve persevered through challenges and worked incredibly hard to get to where we are today. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but the reality is that things are changing, and it’s getting harder.

To keep inspiring young people, we need support from partners such as government now more than ever.

Over the past two years, we’ve challenged ourselves to reimagine how we create and present theatre by testing new models and refining our approaches. The results have been rewarding, positioning us to drive impactful change in communities across Australia.

Our vision remains steadfast: a world where young people are emboldened by creativity. Guided by our mission to empower young people, we are evolving our strategies to ensure every experience resonates deeply with the diverse lives of our young audiences.

This plan builds on a foundation of creativity and collaboration, reflecting the needs of young people today. We’re focusing on expanding our reach, especially in Western Sydney, regional and disadvantaged communities, making theatre more accessible.

As we embark on this phase, we’re excited to broaden our impact through Monkey Baa Theatre Unlimited, our new framework for embedding social change across all our work. This focus aligns with our commitment to removing barriers, amplifying diverse voices, and ensuring every young person has a front-row seat to Australian stories.

We invite you to join us as we journey into this next phase.
