Riverside’s National Theatre of Parramatta engages the imagination of our audiences, taking them on inspirational journeys.

In September 2015 Riverside Theatre’s launched National Theatre of Parramatta, brought to fruition by the vision of Riverside Advisory Board, City of Parramatta, the NSW Government, Riverside Theatres and the Crown and Packer Family Foundations.
