The Joan is uniquely positioned at the very edge of the west and the base of the Blue Mountains, in an area experiencing solid growth.

We are well-known and loved by our community as a venue presenting quality performing arts. As Penrith continues to emerge as a city, an appreciation continues to grow for a local performing arts centre with easy, convenient parking, close public transport and a range of dining options nearby – from Mr Watkins to High Street Social to the many options on Riley Street.

Events

We may have lots of shows in our Subscription Season but that’s just part of what’s on offer. There are new acts being listed all time: big, small, local, interstate and international.

From Jimmy Barnes to Anh Do; Dr Karl to Missy Higgins – you never know what to expect, and we’re booking in new shows all the time – we’d love to have you on board.
