This morning I sat down, put pen to paper and suddenly everything I have been talking about, thinking about and looking forward to for a very long time went from "someday" to "September 1st" and pulled several things into very sharp focus.
Yes, HUGE Improv Theater has a lease on a space.
I am excited, terrified, confident, stressed and energized. This feels so unreal and strange and yet feels like the most natural and necessary step in the process that started a long, long time ago.
The building is 3037 Lyndale Ave S - formerly the Lava Lounge clothing store.
We start swinging hammers on September 1st.
We could not have arrived at this point without the energy and support of everyone around us and you'll have to forgive us in the coming months while we couple every "thank you" with "now keep it coming" - like this:
this may not be the beginning and it's far from the end but this is where it gets exciting.
If there's one thing the community has shown me I can count on it's that I am about to be overwhelmed by people asking how they can help - which is nothing short of awesome. Thank you all, you are amazing. In everything we've done I've never doubted who has my back out there. Thank you.
And yes...you can help. You can give. You can tell people you know to give.
go to hugetheater.com and do your thing.
I wish it was as simple as having good ideas and amazing talent but reality demands that we also have money. But now we have a where and a when to put all this what. It is time to stop talking about someday and somewhere.
I will see you on stage.
