Didnt even know this theater existed! Was impressed with the staff as they sat us personally for the social distancing requirements. Nice comfortable seating. Will definitely visit again! Nice addition to the Town Center area.

Wonderful facility with great acoustics. Very interesting, entertaining and unusual pianist 1/18. Educational. We grabbed a schedule of future events on the way out. Well be going back. Wide variety of offerings. Non-profit facility.Its nice to have a culturally progressive venue, in a cozy comfortable facility as an alternative to the mainstream entertainment at the larger Centers. Zeiders reminds me of my experience in Ashland, Oregon during their Shakespeare In The Park festival.In short, Zeiders is small, intimate, and comfortable offering a wide variety of new and different artists as well as other entertainment at a reasonable price that you likely wont get anywhere else in Hampton Roads... at least not that I know of.

It was my second visit to this venue. Its not fancy, but you cant beat it for an intimate setting for a live performance. Not a bad seat in the house from what I can tell. Lots of free parking close by. Looking forward to more events and shows there in the future.

This theater is amazing, bringing shows that bring our community together. Its so great to see local and different show than other theaters in the Hampton roads area. Love the seating and how friendly everyone is. Wonderful customer service

We went and saw Bootleg Romeo & Juliet. It was so funny, and the best way to experience the Shakespearean drama. I would absolutely recommended seeing any performance put on at this theater.

Not a bad seat in the house. The staff was outstanding, from the greeting at the front door to seating in the auditorium. They were friendly, yet very professional.

First, I want to note that the new location is beautiful. But thats not why Im giving five stars. Im giving the rating because its clear that Zeiders is first and foremost clearly focused on giving you a great performance. The venue itself is just right for an intimate performance (Valerie June, in my case). Not a single bad seat in the house!

Attended an event here. It is smallish auditorium with a stage up front and comfortable stadium style seating that creates an intimate atmosphere. Located in Virginia Beach Town Center, it was difficult for us to find. Even with GPS we went in circles for a while before parking the car and hoping we would find someone to give us direction! The building has a giant Z on one side but the issue was not being able to see an entrance while driving. Even walking, it was hard to see! We finally found a poorly marked door leading to an elevator to the second floor entrance of the theater. It was only then we realized the large stairs we passed on the sidewalk lead right to the theater! Good to know! They need some signage because if youre a first timer, good luck!

My girls and I attended this venue for a performance by the Virginia Arts Festival - Condensed Shakespeare. It is a more relaxed venue than Sandler Center but the facility is absolutely beautiful! I hope to visit again soon!Please note that it is tucked away at the top of a steep flight of stairs directly across Commerce Street from the fountain and Ruths Chris, Sonoma, etc.Fantastic!

Attended a show in this theater to watch my daughter perform. A very cozy, intimate atmosphere with friendly staff. This smaller venue is actually moving into another space in the same area. Im looking forward to see the new place and more shows it has to offer.
