Our mission is to create opportunities to put these ideas on center stage. August 31st, at the Zeiders American Dream Theater, we put a stand to these issues with our joint music and fashion show, titled “Daze of Summer”.Together we can help craft these ideas into reality, and increase cultural currency in our respective markets!

Witness the power of expression at VIBES Open Mic!

No Holds Bard is a community-driven Shakespeare festival. From a newly-imagined Macbeth set in post-earthquake Haiti circa 2010 through our centerpiece bootleg-style presentation of Romeo and Juliet, we are calling on the support and participation of not only our local artists, but of anyone who has ever felt the glow of the limelight and the call of the boards. There is a little something for everyone in The Z’s Shakespeare festival. In addition to the afore-mentioned plays, we are presenting a concert of some of Shakespeare’s dozens of lyrics set to original music by local composers and songwriters and an evening of re-contextualized and newly-paraphrased classic scenes. Imagine Tybalt and Mercutio dueling it out in high-stakes poker, or young Henry exhorting his band of brothers to make one final pizza delivery.

Back again for romp number FIVE! The title says it all. Sexy Broadway tunes, heartfelt ballads and just the right dose of hilarity make for the perfect Valentine (or anti-valentine) celebration.

This will be the fifth annual HOLIDIVAS cabaret at The Z. This show is tailored to the performers and features a diverse selection of holiday music for a heartwarming yet hilarious evening with plenty of nostalgia.

VB Comedy Fest is a festival that celebrates comedy in all its forms.  Stand Up, Improv, and Sketch... you name it, we wanna laugh at it.  A festival that provides participants the opportunity to see what our local performers have to offer as well as our friends from outside the Hampton Roads area.
