Adelaide Fringe tickets discounted to celebrate inaugural SA Women’s Week

The South Australian Government has funded discounted Adelaide Fringe tickets to celebrate South Australia’s inaugural SA Women’s Week.

The SA Government’s Office for Women selected 11 productions for its SA Women’s Week Picks on the Adelaide Fringe website, providing customers with a $10 discount.

The discount applies to selected South Australian female-led shows taking place during SA Women’s Week between 1st and 8th March inclusive.

Heather Croall, Adelaide Fringe Director and Chief Executive notes “the Adelaide Fringe is proud to be hosting shows from some of the most talented, creative and inspiring women in the arts industry.

“We hope our collaboration with the Office for Women will allow more customers to come and support female performers, and perhaps laugh, sing or learn something along the way.”

Outside of the Adelaide Fringe, there are more than 60 registered SA Women’s Week events that highlight the achievements and contributions of women and girls and encourage further action.

The events are suitable for all budgets, from free art exhibitions to evening discussions, film screenings and seminars.

In line with this year’s International Women’s Day theme, March Forward, SA Women’s Week is an opportunity for the community to put words into action.

The aim of the week-long event is to raise awareness about all that has been advanced and what more must be done to help ensure South Australia empowers all women and girls to equally, safely and actively participate in all aspects of community life and in our economy.

South Australians are encouraged to consider the role they can play in driving change, including through:

Learning to recognise signs of coercive control and other forms of violence, advocating for women's voices to be heard and sparking conversations in their community or organisation to raise awareness about inequality and violence against women.

Volunteering with Women’s Information Service and donating to women's services like Women’s Safety Services or Catherine House or charities supporting women.

Assessing women’s representation in leadership and decision-making bodies, supporting women's recognition through awards and ensuring diverse voices are included in organisational decisions.

Attending an SA Women's Week event, supporting women-owned businesses, watching women's sporting matches and helping spread awareness about women's initiatives.
