Act I will be held in Arts Centre Melbourne’s sophisticated jazz lounge for an up-close exclusive night to remember. Hosted by legendary Australian performer and writer Robyn Archer, the special evening will recognise artistic excellence and achievements on stage as well as the creative and technical genies behind the scenes.

Act II brings a black-tie gala, saluting artistic achievement on the Australian stage over the past year from musicals to contemporary music, comedies to opera, theatre to cabaret.

Presenting the forty-two awards over the two nights will be Kate Miller-Heidke, Keir Nuttall, Mitchell Butel, Paul Kelly, Robyn Archer, Susie Youssef and more, as well as performances from Brent Hill and the kids of School of Rock, Silvie Paladino, The Australian Ballet, Victorian Opera, Bangarra Dance Theatre and others to be announced.
