Riverside Theatres Sets 2016 Season

Western Sydney's premier performing arts centre, Riverside Theatres, is pleased to announce its Annual Performance Season for 2016 that includes 15 world-class productions. With shows set in all corners of the globe, audiences will have the opportunity to explore the world from Parramatta and delve into fascinating human stories from the past, present and future.

Director of Riverside Theatres, Robert Love, said, "The 2016 program has a diverse offering for all ages, backgrounds and tastes. Riverside Theatres is a fantastic place for audiences and artists alike to meet and participate in performing arts of all shapes and sizes."

Season 2016 will see Riverside Theatres present stellar productions from major Australian arts companies including Indigenous Australian dance company, Bangarra Dance Theatre and their Helpmann Award-winning show, Terrain; Griffin Theatre Company and Bell Shakespeare coproduction The Literati directed by Lee Lewis; as well as Disgraced, the 2013 Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Ayad Akhtar and produced by Sydney Theatre Company.

Continuing their commitment to showcase innovative productions from New Zealand, Riverside Theatres will present Daffodils from Auckland's Bullet Heart Club. Inspired by true events, this award-winning Kiwi cabaret tells the story of a real life romance combined with a track list of favourite New Zealand songs by Crowded House, LIPS, Chris Knox and many more.

Renowned Sydney based theatre company, Sport for Jove, will present three shows in the 2016 season including Michael Gow's Away, Sophocles' Antigone and William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.
