From blockbuster musicals to new creative developments, dive into the world of performing arts like never before. In 2025 you are invited to attend special events for the global smash hit musical, Sister Act, the page to stage adaptation of Pip Williams’ award-winning New York Times bestseller The Dictionary of Lost Words, the return of QPAC’s International Series with Ballet Preljocaj and the extraordinary Illume by Bangarra as part of QPAC’s Clancestry Festival.

Through these moments, we aim to deepen your connection not only with the performances but also with fellow performing art enthusiasts and the incredible artists who bring these works to life. 

  • It was terrific; a fantastic orientation. It has made me feel even more connected to the great cultural expanse that is South Bank and proud of how far we have come as a result of what began in the 1980's.
    Friend of QPAC 2024
  • This tour was the highlight for me so far of my membership (since inception of the QPAC membership a few years ago) Having an understanding of behind the scenes of such a large performing arts centre means so much to me personally.
    Friend of QPAC 2024
  • It was very illuminating to see that the theatres and performances are just a small part of the entire building and the production.  I expect this insight will increase the magic and awe that comes with a performance.
    Friend of QPAC 2024
  • I love Friends of QPAC membership, it just gets better, last night was the most interesting event yet!
    Friend of QPAC 2024
  • I thoroughly enjoyed the event at QPAC on Monday evening, it was interesting to see and listen to the panel discussing their individual experiences when preparing for and performing on stage. Each had individual descriptions of their voice and described this in language that was easily understood by a non-singer. Such an educational event. More please!
    Friend of QPAC 2024
  • This was one of the best behind the scenes events I have been to.
    Friend of QPAC 2024
