Someday Lounge

The Mission

This is sacred space.

Since Portland Music Company inhabited the space so many years ago, performance seemed a drawn to this once cavernous warehouse. The first of which was a Halloween party and fashion show back in October '03. Then there was the Second Annual Post-Apocolyptic Nuclear Winter Formal. Many shows followed over the next few years making it clear that something about this raw unused space was attracting a breed of performance that had neither the desire nor the ability to play in the typical venue.

The idea was conceived to create a space that could support this genre of performance. The draw being that we could make a space accessible to all. Not just a core group of insiders, or a circle of performers. We had to create a space anyone would feel comfortable in, a place that could properly showcase the brightest faces of the avant-garde. A place that can be host to everything from dance to theatre to music. Only the surface was scratched.

Yes.

Someday Lounge is community developed by five individuals with a mission to break free from the banal that define our culture. It was borne out of the need to express a crazy idea, try something different, or see something beautiful in a setting accessible to all. We depend on Artist and Audience to sustain this ambitious project to bring a diverse set of ideas on and off the stage and create a community where none existed. Together with a huge contingent of supporters, volunteers, workers, designers, Eric, Kris, Giuseppe, Mike, Adam, and Noah, Someday opened it's doors in September 06 hosting a series of PICA T:BA 06 events.

Someday there will be a waystation and a headquarters for the cultural revolution to present its many faces to the public at large. Sit back, have a drink, and enjoy the show. Someday has arrived.
