Stuntboy, In the Meantime is a musical based on Jason Reynolds and Raúl the Third’s award-winning graphic novel of the same name. The show follows middle-schooler Portico Reeves whose superpower is making sure his parents and best friend, Zola, stay safe. He lives in the biggest apartment building on the block, a building with fifty doors, all of which would be swell except for the secret that Portico’s parents are about to divorce. All this stress gives Portico “the frets”, which his mom calls anxiety. Plus, like all superheroes, Portico has an arch-nemesis, Herbert determined to prove that there is nothing super about Portico at all. Students will leave excited to read all of Jason Reynold’s award-winning YA novels, equipped with a few more social and emotional skills to navigate the many challenges young people face today.

The Schooltime Performance Series brings classroom lessons to life! Each live show aligns with Massachusetts curriculum standards and enhances learning for Greater New Bedford students—making your visit to the theater an inspiring extension of the classroom.
The box office is open for ticket sales two hours before a Mainstage performance and one hour before films and performances in the Speakeasy and at Stage Door Live. You can reach the box office by phone at (508) 994-2900 during business hours.
Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged unless the event is cancelled or postponed.
If an event is cancelled or postponed, you will have the option to receive a refund or credit, or you may donate the value of your ticket back to The Z.
A cancellation notice will be posted on this website, as well as:
There is a limit of up to 9 tickets for a single performance. To purchase 10 or more tickets for a single performance, please contact the box office at (508) 994-2900 for a group sale.
A ticket limit helps to ensure fairness in the market and mitigates the possibility of large numbers of seats being stockpiled by third-party sellers. Customers who are not making a group sale but attempt to manipulate or exceed ticket limits may have the entirety of their order(s) for that event cancelled.
At an artist's request, ticket limits may be less than 9 per order for their performance.
The Zeiterion prohibits cameras, sound recorders, and video equipment at performances.
Patrons are welcome to take photos from mobile devices before and after a show.
