Our Radical Survival Plan

Pointless has always been more than four walls: it is a community.

Our lease for 3014 Packard runs out at the end of September, and it sadly doesn’t make financial sense to sign another lease at that space when we cannot plan for an opening date. Not only that, the space is very intimate, and in current times and thinking about a post-COVID world, we’ll need a space with better airflow, and with more capability to ensure social distancing measures. It’s also our goal to eventually have everything housed under one roof.

As most of you know, the Pointless School of Improv is just a few doors down at 3060 Packard. We have moved all of our classes and workshops online for now, until it is safe to meet in person again. The way the lease terms are, it makes sense to hang onto PSI and let the brewery and stage go for now. The reduced costs of only paying rent on one space should help us weather the COVID storm, so that when the clouds part we can open our stage again, in a new space.

For now, we will continue to have curbside pickup of beer and merchandise for the last two Saturdays in August, 12-5 pm. Our classes and workshops will continue online. We encourage you to stay engaged with the online improv jams hosted by our shadow league, Community Garden Party. Thank you for all of your support over the years, and for Yes, Anding this radical survival plan.
