Your Investment in The Z: In the Artists’ Words
“The Zeiders American Dream Theater has been a pivotal part of my journey as a musician and an artist.”
Roberta Lea - Live At The Z
"It takes daring presenters and adventurous audiences to nurture artists. Before we were known in Virginia Beach, the Z offered us their stage, their trusting public, and an endorsement that helped us lay the foundation for a Grammy award-winning career."
Clay Ross of Ranky Tanky - Live at The Z
“Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience at the Z. My play was in such good hands from start to finish and my heart is so full. You realized my vision so expertly and precisely and beyond that, I was very impressed with the ease and professionalism of the whole process. I wish all collaborative experiences were this smooth and rewarding! Despite being a writer, I have no words that fully describe my gratitude to you all.”
Marissa Alaniz - Curtain Up! New Plays
“I am still basking in the afterglow of being able to take another big step towards this show having lots of future possibilities! All of you at the Z helped make this possible and I am very grateful.”
Chris Van Cleave - Z Fringe Festival
“As a performer, the support was unbelievable. I really couldn’t have asked for more!”
Lee Flores - Z Fringe Festival
