In 2018 we began with a single idea — to improve your patron experience at The Z. Five years later, our desire 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 welcoming to all.
We've embarked on a 14-to-18-month transformation. During this time, 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.
100 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 reality - but we’re not there yet.
Even though we are off to a great start, we will need your help before our next act begins.
