What’s going on with Onward?

Hey y’all!

It’s been a minute, so we want to give you a quick update on our status.

We previously announced that we would have a temporary space in Underground Atlanta during the Banksy exhibit as part of their Underground Roots program. We were really excited for it, but unfortunately due to unforeseen issues, we won’t be able to participate.

Our soft open is still planned for March 2022, but we won’t be opening in a permanent space at that time. After consulting with other theatres and being mindful of public health guidance, we don’t see a need to rush to open doors to hesitant audiences while they could safely watch Squid Game at home. The last thing we want is to launch and then quickly close because we couldn’t sustain the space.

We still plan to have a slow burn of pop up shows, workshops, and jams. We’ll announce when they are available so please keep an eye out for that. We’re exploring options for space through strategic partnerships with organizations in Atlanta, and keeping our eye out for a permanent location when it makes sense.

You’ve given us your time, donations, and trust, and we want to be successful for the community. We can’t thank you enough for believing in us and our mission, and we’re excited to move onward, together.

To recap:

- We won’t be opening in Underground Atlanta.

- Soft open planned for March 2022 in new space.

- Popup shows, workshops, and jams are upcoming.

Thank you so much!
