Z Plays and Word for Word on the road
The Z Space Studio is pioneering a
new model of theater: commissioning, developing, and producing new
works especially for touring across the West, country, and world.
In this way, we hope to grow the profile of the artists involved,
and to get new people interested in the art of live theater. From
Los Angeles to Paris, from Nevada City, CA to Coral Gables, FL,
the Z Space is on a mission to show the world what's new and what's
next.
