Awards

At Tinkers Farm Operatic, we don’t create shows for awards — we create them to bring joy to our performers, our members and everyone who comes through the doors to share in the magic of live theatre.
 

Being nominated for, and recognised by, both NODA and BFAME is something we are incredibly proud of. These accolades are a wonderful indication that the passion, commitment and hard work that goes into every production is making a difference — both on stage and behind the scenes.
 

To have our work recognised at this level is a privilege that we never take for granted. While the awards themselves are not why we do what we do, they give us a little reassurance that we’re heading in the right direction.
 

Above all, our greatest reward will always be seeing our performers grow, hearing an audience laugh, gasp, applaud and cheer, and knowing that for a few hours, we have helped create a little bit of magic and pure escapism.
 

We are immensely proud of every nomination, every accolade and, most importantly, every person who has helped make them possible.
