Save the Oasis Telethon!

  By Bars and Nightclubs, Fundraisers, Online Events

UPDATE: The telethon was held on March 6, 2021, and we’re delighted to report that it was an amazing success. Oasis started the day having raised $110,000 in pre-telethon donations, already breaking their initial goal of $100,000, and ended the day having raised an amazing total of $255,435 (last time we checked), exceeding their goal by more than 150%! The funds from the initial goal of $100,000 will be used to pay off the mounds of bills that Oasis continued to incur even while closed — rent, utilities, and other expenses. The additional funds raised during the telethon above the… Continue reading

CANCELLED: Baloney Gets Bread – March 19-28

  By Bars and Nightclubs, Burlesque Shows, Cancelled Events

Note: For the first time in the show’s five-year history, Baloney has been cancelled. The Baloney boys’ other event, Sausagefest, will still occur on March 13, 2020. Co-creator Michael Phillis’ message about the cancellation reads in part: …to perform a show about physical intimacy in the current climate feels, at best, tone-deaf, and at worst, dangerous. The last thing we want is to put you or our community at risk. Though there are obvious and very frightening personal financial repercussions to consider, our bigger concern is that the beloved brand of beautiful escapism we offer is simply not attainable at… Continue reading
