2009 Helpmann Awards Nominations Announced tonight in Sydney and in Melbourne
LPA Launches new Producer Development Program to strengthen business and commercial skills in live theatre
Live Performance Australia (LPA) today announced that the 2009 Helpmann Awards® ceremony will take place at Australia’s most iconic venue for the performing arts, the Sydney Opera House.
What are LPA Members doing to help?
We have all been shocked and affected by the tragic Victorian bushfires which sadly took so many lives and destroyed homes and communities across Victoria. There is a lot of support and interest amongst our members and the live performance industry more broadly to support those people and communities so badly affected by these bushfires.
 

WELCOME
