Named after founding member and Artistic Director Cameron Mackenzie's Godmother, Zee Zee Theatre has a focused desire to explore the small stories in people's lives and the intimate moments through which limitless humanity and depth of character can be revealed.

We seek to appreciate the marginalized and so often forgotten and expose the true beauty and simplicity of a single moment. We aim to connect our audience through recognizable situations and their poignancy, and in that connection, we strive to inspire unity in shared human experience.
