Dear Members
The Barry Kay Archive is pleased to announce Live Performance
Australia's posthumous tribute to and commemoration of the stage
and costume designer Barry Kay:
Live Performance Australia (LPA), the peak body for Australia's live
entertainment and performing arts industry, posthumously selected
Barry Kay as one of eighty theatre artists awarded a place in its
newly established virtual Hall of Fame. This Hall of Fame, launched
on 30 November 2007, is Live Performance Australia's way of paying
tribute to a remarkable collection of people on the occasion of
celebrating its 90th anniversary.
Frank van Straten, theatre historian and former first director of
the Victorian Arts Centre's Performing Arts Museum in Melbourne,
provided a short biography on each artist, constituting the corner
stone of the Hall of Fame.
Following the recognition of Barry Kay and the Barry Kay Archive by
the National Library of Australia last year, having been awarded a
place in the LPA's Hall of Fame represents further acknowledgement
of Kay's important contributions to the performing arts.
Please check out our announcement here, where links to the LAP and
its Hall of Fame are provided:
