Online Education Resources

While You're Here

While our doors are currently closed we are working on bringing our resources to you digitally. We have collated a list of resources that might help you to continue to connect your students to the magic of live theatre.

There are some great online tools which showcase theatre and the arts in different online platforms. Below you will find educational resources we have collated from productions that we have shown over the years, developed by Riverside, Riverside’s National Theatre of Parramatta and from external companies who have produced their shows at Riverside.
