Venue Information

Performing arts theater in Gold Canyon, Arizona Zāo is a Greek verb meaning to live, breathe, be among the living, to enjoy real life. Theatre is defined as a collaborative form of art that uses live performers to present a real or imagined event before a live audience. That is exactly what we do at Zao Theatre; we live, breathe, and enjoy real life. Zao Theatre became a living, breathing entity in October of 2014 with our production of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple. Shortly after that, we offered another Simon play, Barefoot in the Park. The first important hurdles for a new theatre had been achieved; actors were willing to work with us and the audience found us. Zao Theatre was alive!
