Mission: Provide an opportunity for actors/members of the public to practice, train and improve their ability in improvisational theatre. This improves the participant’s ability to think on their feet and make bold, confident choices. We strive to provide an environment where actors are encouraged to make positive choices and interact with other performers in a positive, accepting manner. We also provide performance opportunities for professional actors and for members of the public to perform in improvised theatre shows or in scripted shows that have been devised through improvisation. We also run the Theatresports Youth Program (TYP), a development/training program for teachers and students to practice and perform improvisation. The aim of TYP is to allow young people aged between 12 to 18 to nurture and practice the skills of creativity and spontaneity in an affirmative environment.

Financial data as at March 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.
Charities Services Tier 3 reporting allows charities under $2M revenue to file a simple-format annual return rather than audited financial statements. The return reports totals but not the program/administration split or the line-item detail our template needs. No red flags were detected in what was filed, and revenue is below the $2M Tier 2 boundary where audited accounts become mandatory. A letter grade is withheld rather than assigning one that would be driven by the template-fit, not the charity's operations. The charity's filed figures are shown above, and any structural concerns a donor would want to look at are surfaced separately. (v3.3 — aligned with Charities Services tier boundary; matches Charity Navigator and CharityWatch US practice.)
How ratings work →Reasons to look carefully (1)
These structural observations are drawn from public data and are worth considering before a donation. They are not allegations of wrongdoing, and they don’t affect the charity’s letter grade.
- No chair recorded on the registerNo chair or presiding role is recorded in the register for this board of 3. The Charities Register does not require one to be identified, so this is a gap in the public record rather than a finding about the board.
Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
