Coming Up at Z Space:

Z Space provides artists a place to develop and present innovative performance pieces, in a variety of different genres from many diverse voices. We value bravery and the right of artists to express themselves freely. To that end, the opinions and beliefs expressed by artists in our venue do not necessarily reflect those of Z Space, nor of our staff.

Word for Word’s 2025 season is generously sponsored by Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. Read more about FIGR and Word for Word's ongoing partnership here.
