A new home for the Matilda Awards
The Matilda Awards recognise Queensland's theatre makers, performers and productions, with categories spanning mainstage and independent theatre, musical theatre, cabaret, circus and physical theatre. The ceremony on 2 March 2026 celebrated work from 2025, which is why QPAC listed the event as the 2025 Matilda Awards.
The evening brought the performing arts community into the Playhouse at QPAC as the awards moved to a new venue. Alongside the production and performance categories, the programme included recognition for emerging artists, placing established companies and newer voices in the same celebration.
Lighting supplied for Buck Outdoor
Krank'd supplied TourPro ZB7 moving fixtures and ACME Tour Bars for Buck Outdoor. The package paired moving-head lighting with linear LED fixtures for the awards production.
The ZB7s offered moving light within the package, while the Tour Bars provided a line of LED sources. The combination supported Buck Outdoor's awards production in a theatre usually hosting the very performances being recognised that night.
