We All Play a Part

As audiences, performers, students, teachers, backstage crew or volunteers, we all play a part in Australia’s performing arts industry.

Each year, nearly 16 million admissions are issued to concerts, theatre, opera, musicals and dance performances in venues in the cities, suburbs and country towns around the country. But the performing arts is not just about enjoying the show.

Research indicates that the performing arts plays an important role in contributing skills to our workforce, improves our kids’ education, boosts the economy and builds stronger communities.

From the local community hall to world stage, Australia’s performing arts industry is helping to nurture brilliant Aussie talent and foster national pride. AMPAG and its partners believe it is important that the significant contribution of the performing arts is recognised and supported by all Australians.
