Previously underused, the basement of the Zeiterion now has a swank Speakeasy, a nod to the 1920s when the Zeiterion was built. The flexible space offers an intimate setting for smaller performances and events, expanding the types of shows you’ll find at The Z.
The Speakeasy is our new underground gathering place, right beneath the lobby. With its low ceilings and warm, moody glow, it creates the kind of setting where artists and audiences can truly connect. It’s a stage for new ideas, local artists, and fresh voices. A space designed for our community to create and share, The Speakeasy is available to rent for your own event. Here’s what’s slated so far in The Speakeasy. More events, performances, and gatherings to be added soon!
Artists & Producers! Bring your vision to the Speakeasy. Let us know what you have in mind.
Take a trip back to the Roaring ‘20s as The Z’s Speakeasy comes alive with the spirit of 1923, the year our theater first opened its doors. Enjoy the sounds of lively jazz music, sip on specialty cocktails, and soak up the glamour of a bygone era. Guests are encouraged to dress in dapper vintage style for a night of jazz-age revelry.
