Art that pushes the envelope is taking over The Z this April. The Z Fringe Festival showcases unique creative works in a weekend of adventurous theater and performance art. Featuring exciting, self-produced works on three Z stages, including 2 new pieces produced by The Z and The Z Fringe Co-Producing Artists, Jason Kypros and Brittney Harris. Celebrate art that makes a statement at The Z Fringe Festival! Artistic Innovation starts here.

The Z Fringe Festival, April 7-8, is 2 days of locally produced, performance-based works in the Main Stage, Studio, and on the terrace (weather permitting) with ticket proceeds for each show going back to the producing artist. Submissions are open to performance-based art of any genre (and across-genres… and totally beyond genre categorization…).

The Z is partnering with YWCA South Hampton Roads to bring an original play by local playwright, Jean Klein, as our season’s community partnership PAY WHAT YOU CAN event.

Refraction of Light explores friendship and prejudice in post WW2 America, more specifically in the Berkley neighborhood of Norfolk, Virginia.

Registration is required. Pay What You Can registration of $0 to $30 per person with the opportunity to donate more on the donation page during your online check out. Talk Backs following all evening performances. Intro to Race & Justice Workshop by YWCA South Hampton Roads offered between Saturday’s matinee and evening performances.
