2O23-24 SEASON ON THE ROAD

Reimagining the next century

What an exciting time for The Z! In the midst of celebrating the building’s 100th birthday, we’re embarking on a truly transformational season.

The much-anticipated restoration and renovation begins this fall. The lobby will be expanded. Seats will be new. Sound will be improved. The Zeiterion, as we know it, will be completely transformed over the next 14 to 18 months. When the doors re-open in early 2025, you’ll experience a revitalized theater designed with you in mind. It will be comfortable, accessible, and welcoming. A space for community connection and creative expression.

While our building is under construction, we’re reimagining how we offer performances for the 2023-24 season. We knew the show had to go on, especially after the pandemic forced us to close and miss out on the power of live performance and communal gathering for 18 months. So, we’re taking the show on the road! It’s a welcomed opportunity to present amazing artists in other areas of Greater New Bedford, like Madeira Field, New Bedford High School, UMass Dartmouth, Kilburn Event Center, and Bristol Community College.

Join us for an exciting line-up of performances, like the beloved Jake Shimabukuro at UMass Dartmouth on October 5 and the heart-pumping family-friendly 360 Allstars at New Bedford High School on March 17. And for the first time, we’re partnering with Fabric Festival to bring fado singer Gisela João from Portugal to Bristol Community College Theater on October 14.

Throughout this reinvented year, we look forward to sharing the renovation progress. Even though we are off to a great start, we will need your help before our next act begins. Stay tuned for updates and how you can support The Z and our next 100 years.

Welcome to our reimagined season.

We were inspired to dream big!

In 2018 we began with a single idea – to improve your patron experience at The Z. Five years later, our concept for new seating and better bathrooms has grown into an ambitious historic restoration and renovation project that will usher the 100-year-old building into the next century. Our vision will transform The Z into a stunning state-of-the-art facility and a community living room bustling with activity and a home for all.

Beginning this September, we’ll embark on a 14-to-18-month transformation. Historic elements will be fully restored and unused spaces will be given new life.

When The Z re-opens, you'll experience new seats, a new sound system, and improved bathrooms. You’ll also find an expanded lobby, a glorious marquee, and more space for community connection and creative expression.

A hundred years after the Zeiterion first opened its doors, and 40 years since its last major renovation, we are well on our way to making this vision a realitybut we’re not there yet.

We will need your help to get to the finish line, so please visit Zeiterion.org after October 1 for ways you can support this project.

THEATER

The theater will be restored top-tobottom with modern comforts, including new seats and restrooms, accessibility upgrades, and improved sound and lighting, while maintaining its historic characteristics.

SPEAKEASY LOUNGE

An exciting addition to the Zeiterion, the Speakeasy Lounge offers another performance space for smaller, more intimate shows – as well as community gatherings, rental opportunities, and more.

PURCHASE STREET

A new, historically appropriate marquee will be returned to the façade for the first time since the mid-century. The box office moves to the front of the building, improving the buying experience and creating a dynamic street presence.

5

MOVEMENT STUDIO

Increasing our capacity for learning opportunities, this dedicated rehearsal and classroom space has acoustic isolation considerations so instruction will not be affected by performances inside the theater.

Help us get to the finish line!

JAKE SHIMABUKURO

THURS OCTOBER 5 8PM

$ 39 | $ 49

Over the past two decades, Jake Shimabukuro has demonstrated that there isn’t a style of music he can’t play! While versatility for any musician is impressive, what’s remarkable about Jake’s transcendent skills is how he explores his seemingly limitless vocabulary – whether it’s jazz, rock, blues, bluegrass, folk or even classical – on perhaps the unlikeliest of instruments: the ukulele. He has taken the instrument to points previously thought impossible, and in the process, he’s reinvented the applications for this tiny, underappreciated four-string instrument, causing many to call him “the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele.”

Declared “Portugal’s most widely acclaimed fado singer to emerge in this decade” by the New York Times, chart-topping Gisela João has generated white-hot press for her uncompromising take of bold, new fado from this most traditional music. On stage she jumps, she gestures, she emotes. Her voice evokes fado as a music of the streets, where it began, infused with all the fervor, passion, and honesty of an artist rewriting tradition in her own name.

A Message From Wendy Hall, Executive Producer

Thank you for supporting NBFT’s 33rd season - our most expansive season yet! The opportunity to bring year-round professional theatre to the Southcoast was hugely successful.

We have made the difficult decision to forgo major productions until the theater reopens following the renovation. During this transitional season, we’ll continue to produce smaller, more intimate performances as well as larger community events to stay connected with you and the entire Southcoast community.

Please follow us on our socials and our website www.nbfestivaltheatre.com for the latest information.

Thank you for a wonderful season!
