Last year the Zeiterion turned 100, and from that “Beyond 100” was born. Our building is changing. Our programming is expanding. Our intention is shifting. This year we will prepare for these changes. To be a gathering place for performing arts experiences where learning, connection, and creative expression thrive. We’re setting a new stage for our grand re-opening in late 2025. This is The Z reimagined. We invite you to come along!
The Year Ahead
We are well underway on our goal to create a stateof-the-art performing arts center for the Southcoast. The Z’s transformational capital project gives us the opportunity to reimagine what the 100-year-old Zeiterion can be for the next century – both inside and out. When we re-open in late 2025, it won’t just be the building that will look different. We’re using the year ahead to plan for our grand reopening. So that we can activate the building in new ways that serve the entire community. To be open more hours of the day, more days of the week, more weeks of the year. To offer various opportunities for people to experience the arts, beyond a performance. Stay tuned for more on our bold strategic plan that brings the building to life. While under construction, we will present a small number of performances, events, and classes outside our building. We’ll also be laser-focused on completing the fundraising for the project, on implementing our strategic plan, and on being a more equitable and inclusive organization. “Beyond100” is our fundraising campaign for the restoration and renovation. It’s also our frame of mind as we look to the next 100 years of the Zeiterion. We’re creating a performing arts center for the next century.
