This new state-of-the-art facility, made possible by The Zalik Foundation as a core component of its $19 million grant, opened in Fall 2023. The Tzadik Performing Arts Center supports several initiatives that serve the school's growing student enrollment and aspiration to provide a vital resource for educational innovation and collaboration within the broader Atlanta Jewish community. Featuring a three-quarter thrust theater, the Tzadik Performing Arts Center includes a recording studio, music studio, music composition lab, dance studio, two dressing rooms, a technologically advanced control booth, and top-level equipment for lighting, sound, set design, and video presentation.

  • Music

    With the opening of the Performing Arts Center at the start of the 2023-2024 academic year, Weber expanded its Jazz, Rock, and Vocal ensembles while offering new courses in music theory and composition, electronic music, and sound engineering.  In addition, Director of Music Drew Cohen will leverage the dynamic teaching spaces within the Tzadik Performing Arts Center to offer a series of visiting performance artists, providing students with opportunities to learn from and make music with top working musicians in the Jewish and broader community.

  • Performing Arts

    Leveraging the new theatre and dynamic teaching spaces, Weber expanded its theatrical offerings by adding courses in Theatrical Direction, Short-Form Theater, and Collaborative Dramatic Performance, instructed by Director of Theatre Brad Bass. In November, Weber offered its first-ever dramatic and musical theater production centered upon material written, directed, and performed by students. Guided by Technical Director Scott Leaderman (who also teaches a new course in Set and Light Design) and Music and Sound Engineering Teacher Michael Levine, a growing team of Weber students master the skills of lighting, set design, and sound engineering, managing traditional and high-tech equipment in service of each performance.

    "A flourishing arts program is an intrinsic part of developing well-rounded students who are prepared to tackle the challenges facing our Jewish community and the broader world. It is our great pleasure to support advancing performing arts programming for Weber students and the Jewish community. The experience gained performing on stage provides life-long skills these students will use to advocate and lead in the future.”

  • Rabbi Ed Harwitz, Head of School

    “We continue to be grateful to The Zalik Foundation for its transformative investment that, while providing new resources for Weber to meet its mission and serve our Jewish community, provides students, faculty and staff, and parents with a one-of-a-kind performing arts space that has given rise to new levels of artistic creativity and innovation. As Weber’s commitment to advancing the performing arts extends well beyond our campus, the Tzadik Performing Arts Center provides us with enhanced opportunities to partner with Jewish organizations.”
