Live Performance Australia's Hall of Fame is a designated section published on the organisation's official website since 2006. The inductees were chosen from an expert committee and initially comprised eighty practitoners. Since then the Hall of Fame has included winners of the James Cassius Williamson Awards (recognising living individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the performing arts in Australia) have been added, along with other notable performers.
'This virtual Hall of Fame is Live Performance Australia’s way of paying tribute to a remarkable collection of theatre people. In our Hall of Fame you’ll encounter actors and directors, playwrights and designers, singers and instrumentalists, comedians and dancers, circus performers and puppeteers, theatre architects and entrepreneurs, and even a critic or two. Some you’ll know, others not. But they’re all great people with great stories and we know you’ll enjoy meeting them' (Hall of Fame website).
The official historian for the Hall of Fame is Frank Van Straten.
