Zenith Theatre and Convention Centre

Zenith Theatre and Convention Centre is a flexible performing arts and events venue in the heart of Chatswood, Sydney. Located a few minutes’ walk from Chatswood railway station, it caters to both community and corporate groups, with facilities designed for performances, conferences, meetings and other organised events. Its programme has included local theatre productions, concerts, music theatre, forums, talks and business seminars, giving the venue a broad role in the area’s cultural and professional life.

The main auditorium is the venue’s central performance space, with 251 seats arranged in comfortable tiered seating. It is suitable for concerts, plays, music theatre, presentations and forums, making it a practical choice for audiences attending everything from community productions to formal talks. Past events listed by the venue include productions such as Avenue Q and Annie, concerts by the Willoughby Brass Band, a Soulfood a cappella performance, and the Master Piano Institute’s Teacher’s Gala Concert.

There is more to Zenith than the auditorium. The seminar room supports meetings, conferences, workshops, seminars and other group activities, while the Joe Ciantar Music Rehearsal Studio provides an accessible setting for community rehearsals and events. Together, these spaces make the centre useful for performers preparing a production, organisations running a presentation, and groups seeking a dedicated venue for collaborative activities.

Zenith is operated by the Performing Arts Unit of Willoughby City Council, which also manages performance venues and supports performance-based arts across Willoughby City and beyond. The unit’s work includes presenting professional shows and artists, supporting local talent, and providing expertise in show sound and lighting, ticketing, live-show management, event planning and hospitality. For visitors, the venue suits a varied calendar of live performance and public events; for organisers, it offers purpose-built spaces and an experienced operations team in a convenient Chatswood location.
