Why it's worth checking out
Riverside Theatres sits on Church Street in the heart of Parramatta, in Sydney's thriving west. A major performing-arts venue, it's a cultural cornerstone of the area — hosting a diverse program of theatre, music, comedy, dance and other live performances across its stages, in a great central location by the river.
The appeal is that combination of a varied, quality program and a convenient, central setting: from drama and dance to live music, comedy and family shows, there's a rich and ever-changing line-up to enjoy, all in the heart of Parramatta with the city's dining close by. It's a genuine hub for the performing arts in Sydney's west, drawing audiences from across the region.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,800 reviews, it's clearly valued by its audiences. The program, show times, ticketing and any events vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current line-up and booking directly before you go — particularly for a specific show or a popular performance — while looking forward to a night of live entertainment at Riverside Theatres in Parramatta.
