OnPoint Improv

It's prime day a prime time to help out some might say. Several mutual aid disaster relief funds helping out hurricane victims have Amazon wishlists with much needed supplies for sale. So if you want a slightly discounted way to help people helping people here you go

I'm not the biggest fan of Amazon but I can't deny they are efficient at getting things to people. And I don't need a Crock-Pot next day

Hey y'all
Much like my dog attacking a pillow of her self that was a present from my mom I have some news that gives me conflicting feelings.
OnPoint is taking a break for the month of August (pause for crying). Yes for the first non-pandemic induced reason we are taking an extended break. I’ve mentioned this at our shows but we lost out spot at Remnant so that other community organizations can use the space (and actually pay rental fees). It makes sense, space is very valuable in Somerville and Remnant has a prime location and a lot of the organizations are incredible and are promoting local artists just like us so I encourage people to go check them out.

I thought I would be able to find a new location for the show in 1 month but that has proven more difficult than expected (I have emailed and called almost every brewery or bar that has a performance space). We have spaces reserved for our July shows but not past that and i’d like for us to have a permanent home.

I will be using this time to figure out what we are doing in terms of venues, right now if week-to-week we have to switch venues my plan is to tailor shows to each venue so we may have a dedicated sketch show, or musical show, rather than having everything on the same stage. But the goal is to have the same space week to week so we can build a community there. If anyone has suggestions for where to look I am open to it.

I’m very sorry to have to do this but its needed to restructure the show so it is sustainable into the future. I hope y’all still get out and perform and in September I will be back with something cool.

See ya around, stay cool and have a good summer.
