Z Space Studio

Founded in 1993, San Francisco's Z Space was created to foster the development of new theatrical works. For over 25 years, the theatre group and performing arts company has encouraged artists to take risks, experiment stylistically, and collaborate with their peers. Z Space operates two performance venues: a 244-seat main stage and an 85-seat black box. In addition to encouraging and empowering artists, Z Space operates several initiatives, including Word for Word, a program that translates works of literature and adapts them for the stage. GRoW has funded the Word for Word program in France, which works to translate great stories by staging elaborate performances based on classic and contemporary fiction. Z Space has been performing in France since 1996, showcasing full-scale performances at high schools, libraries, and universities across the country.
