We need your help to keep the power of the performing arts alive in New Bedford!
You might not know that ticket sales alone do not support everything The Z does as a non-profit performing arts center.
Donations to The Z…
Bolster work in local classrooms and makes learning fun for thousands of elementary students through our curriculum-based educational programs. Programs like Page to Stage, our in-school residency program, and Schooltime, our matinee performance series - which is finally back after a two-year hiatus!
Assist local teaching artists, who offer lessons in ukulele, poetry, improv, salsa and more every year. The Zeiterion Creative Classroom transitioned to a “pay what you can” model in 2020, ensuring that these top-quality learning opportunities are accessible to all while paying teaching artists a fair wage.
Support hundreds of jobs for people who live right here in our community, from bartenders to stagehands to administrative staff. Did you know that when these big artists come to The Z, it’s our local community who ensures the show goes on without a hitch?
Your donation allows The Z to provide outstanding performing arts experiences from big stars on the stage to budding performers in local classrooms. What an impact!
