A little about the Z as some call it
The Zeiterion Performing Arts Center entertains, educates, and inspires our community by presenting an array of high-quality performing artists and providing engaging learning opportunities that contribute to the cultural, social, and economic vitality of the Southcoast.
It begins on April 2, 1923, when New Bedford opened its last new theater in the city’s downtown area. The city was once the richest in the world, and it was already home to two dozen dazzling theaters.
Barney Zeitz and his brothers envisioned the biggest and best theater in New Bedford. A “palace for the people,” as he called it, for live vaudeville performances. Designed by Frank Leary and Frank Walker, the two-story tapestry brick building is an adaption of the Georgian Revival style. Inside, décor included marble-columned walls, the Zeitz family “Z” shield accentuating the proscenium, silk tapestry on the walls, a frieze of gold leaf Grecian dancing muses, a large oval sunset scene on the ceiling, an orchestra rail of solid gum wood, and a $7,000 cut glass Czechoslovakian chandelier. The total project cost more than $12 million in today’s dollars.

Hello dear friend @tattoodjay good day
What a beautiful place is the ¨Centro de Artes Escénicas¨, I love the buildings of times, its facades are very striking, in addition to the history that the place keeps
I appreciate you letting us know these beautiful shots
have a wonderful weekend
Whoa, 1923 that is like 99 years. Its very old yet it still look goods. I am wondering if how many time did they renovate that, hmm. These are all a good shot. 😁
The front is beautiful but I am liking the backside too.
Haha. True. It is looking like a face. I also often see faces in such geometrical constructions and designs
Oh yes! The face is right there, haha. This building is really interesting, and the exterior just makes me wonder about the inside, hmn. Interesting lighting and colors.
Great shots.
I always think it is interesting how these old theaters in downtown areas look so unassuming from the outside, but then you go inside and they are just so ornate and all the details are amazing. They really put so much work into making them amazing. It looks like this one is still hosting some great artists. I recognize quite a few of those from the hanging signs. Awesome photos and post!
Grand style, built to last, shows how much attention was given to detail in craftsmanship. Excellent photography with descriptive information.
!LUV History, how ideas flourish when money is available.

I like the front of the building too compared to the back part. Your photos are as awesome as always!
I could see the face too! If my imaginations are so wild right now, I'm already thinking of a horror film out of this photo alone. 😂
