"Acting Premier and Minister for the Arts Paul Lucas invited applications to a new fund dedicated to growing Indigenous theatre in Queensland. Mr Lucas said the $259,000 Indigenous Theatre Fund was a one-off initiative focused on providing theatre companies, playwrights, directors, actors and theatre professionals with the opportunity to produce new work for presentation in Queensland. "The Indigenous Theatre Fund, a joint initiative of the State Government through Arts Queensland and the Theatre Board of the Australia Council for the Arts, supports partnership projects to strengthen Indigenous theatre practice in the state," he said."
