It’s our last day of biz @ @unifiedscenedc. We’re grateful to the students, performers, theater-goers, the patience of friends & family; to #BloomingdaleDC, #WashingtonDC and, finally, the talented improv scene here in DC that supported us. Thank you, all of you. Been a blast!

We obviously aren’t open, having closed two years ago this month in fact. But if we were? You bet your fucking ass you’d need proof of vax to get in.

[Washington City Paper @wcp]

More than a dozen D.C.-area theaters have announced that patrons will need to show proof that they are fully vaccinated to attend indoor, live performances. https://t.co/HyVJm2MWxt

To end every show at our theater, after thanking the audience and the performers, our host would send the audience off with the same six words. We’ve since closed, but offer them up again one last time in the spirit of today’s news: FUCK DONALDJ. TRUMP! FUCK THAT GUY!”

[The Unified Scene DC @unifiedscenedc]

This thread. John & a group of talented UCB peeps peformed & taught at our theater when it was open (yes, we paid them). We're closed now 4 many reasons. But when we opened the rule was that if we charged 4 shows performers saw some of that. No exceptions.

In case you were wondering: we’ve been closed since July, 2019, and even then, big crowds were never really an issue for us. So, yeah, that’s our policy.

Also: pay your troupes/performers, improv theaters.

@MediaBritt @BlackLadySketch @kathymbaird @Nike One of @shawnwestfall’s former students, @akilahgreen, writes for @BlackLadySketch! Sorry we couldn’t keep the theater going, but you should definitely keep following your comedy/improv journey, @MediaBritt!

@ScottRobertsDC TUF? Did you mean TUS? If that’s what you meant, we are just as proud to have been a part of the history of #BloomingdaleDC , as well as of the accomplishments of our students and the quality of our shows. Thanks, @ScottRobertsDC !

Today is the final day of operations at @unifiedscenedc. As we announced last month, we, the co-founders and co-owners of the theater, are relocating to Portland, Oregon.
