WELCOME! The stars align. The Z draws inspiration from many places – from the creative talents of internationally known artists, from the radiant faces of children seeing a staged production for the first time, from the buzz of excited conversation in the lobby before a show, from this beautiful and historic building, and from this wonderful, engaged, and supportive community of people. Last season, we were inspired to boldly go into a spectacular year of performances. This year, we thrill in how the stars aligned to launch into another season of brilliantly talented artists who will illuminate The Zeiterion stage. We hope our 2014-2015 season line-up inspires you to experience the wonder and awe of live performing arts. Please let us know your inspirations, thoughts, and suggestions! info@zeiterion.org |

Nationally acclaimed L.A. Theatre Works returns to The Z with a riveting adaptation of John Ball’s novel, In the Heat of the Night. This powerful story begins on a steamy August night in a small Southern town, where the body of a wealthy white man is discovered. Police arrest a black stranger passing through town for the murder, only to learn that he is a respected homicide detective. The detective reluctantly finds himself working with the chief of police to solve the murder, while wrestling with the fear, hatred, and prejudices prevalent at the time. With this compelling hybrid of radio theatre and traditional live theatre— complete with props, sound effects, and costumed actors behind mics—L.A. Theatre Works brings the era to life in its adaptation of this groundbreaking novel.

Must see historical drama! Wiesenthal is an uplifting and highly entertaining one-man show that unfolds like a gripping spy thriller, telling the story of Simon Wiesenthal and how, after cheating death at the hands of Hitler’s dreaded S.S., he spent his life bringing justice to the most notorious criminals in war history. Tom Dugan’s critically acclaimed one-man play is hailed by audiences and critics alike as “masterful” (Backstage), “authoritative and engaging” (LA Times), and “most eloquent” (LA Weekly). Despite his death in 2006, the intrepid ‘Nazi Hunter,’ Simon Wiesenthal, continues to inspire audiences across the country, thanks to this award winning one-man show celebrating his remarkable life. Never forget! 34
