The Zeiterion Performing Arts Center is holding its grand reopening Saturday after undergoing extensive renovations.

The project got underway back in June 2024. The more than 100-year-old theater, known locally as “the Z,” hasn’t been renovated since 1983.

The theater has been “transformed” with the creation of gathering spaces, the return of a marquee, and the addition of new bathrooms and a speakeasy, according to its website. The Zeiterion noted that it also addressed previous accessibility issues.

The grand reopening will feature two shows with Emmy award-winning comedian Dulcé Sloan, the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra and the New Bedford Festival Theatre.
