Current & Upcoming Programs: PlayZone
At CommUnity Zone, we believe that all people are created equal and deserve equal rights. Yet, we find ourselves deeply divided, often angry with one another. Why is this happening? We believe the root of our current crisis lies in the fact that we are living in different realities. While this has always been true to some extent, the rapid spread of misinformation, alternative news sources—both on television and social media—has intensified these divisions.
If we don’t act now to bridge these gaps and find common ground, our future is at risk. It’s time to stand together, break down barriers, and work toward a better world—one where we remember that, at our core, we are all human beings, here for a finite time. With that time, we have the power to do good. Instead of letting our differences divide us, let’s focus on imagining and creating a better future.
To foster connection and inspire change, we invite you to participate in our new performance-based program, Music & Art for a Purpose. This series is dedicated to using the arts as a means of building and strengthening community. We have long known that music, theater, and dance bring people together like few other mediums can. The arts have a profound ability to drive social change, spark growth, and cultivate empathy.
Our country has a rich history of supporting the arts and championing humanitarian causes. I have personally witnessed the transformative power of performance—both in the U.S. and abroad—and I believe this new project will be a force for positive change. Music & Art for a Purpose will bring together musicians, dancers, and actors in an ensemble-based process to create original works. Through live music, theater, and dance, we aim to produce performances that are dynamic, thought-provoking, and socially relevant.
At CommUnity Zone, we are guided by the words of Bertolt Brecht: "Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it." Our goal is to inspire creativity, empathy, and social awareness through innovative education and performance.
We welcome anyone with a passion for acting, dancing, or singing—whether experienced or trying it for the first time. We especially encourage intergenerational participation, providing an opportunity for people of all ages to learn, grow, and create together.
