Who we are

Our vision is to generate meaning through the arts



NORPA creates and presents exceptional performing arts for the Northern Rivers. Each of our seasons combines the presentation of the best productions from across Australia, and performances we create inspired by the people and stories of our region.

NORPA brings the best of Australia to the Northern Rivers, and presents the best of the Northern Rivers to the world. As one of only a handful of producing theatre companies in regional Australia we carry a responsibility to tell the stories of regional Australians in unique and profound ways.

An incorporated association led by a Management Committee of local professionals, NORPA has a small team of theatre and venue professionals, supported by a large group of volunteers who fill the front of house roles of usher and bar staff, and assist in the office.
