What's New At The Boiler Room?!?!

Well.........

The Boiler Room is going to be in the Rhody Parade!

If you want to march with us, we're meeting up at the BR around eleven for face painting, coffee and giant cookies. We're heading up to the staging area at noon. Bring an instrument of some sort, because we're "The Boiler Room Annual Marching Band."

(I'm bringing a child's xylophone, and I think we'll have some cowbells available.)

What else?

It's time again! The Boiler Room is hosting Boiler Prom, an awesome all ages "alternative" to regular prom. We'll have a photo opportunity and awesome 90's tunes to dance the night away to, so find some baggy overalls or ripped jeans, your combat boots, a flower printed dress, a big daisy hat, stripes, plaid.... Whatever! Rock it. Cuz Boiler Prom is all that and a bag of chips. It'll be bangin'.

In other news.....

Our participation in Our Kids Our Business during the month of April was a success!

And the benefit for Poetic Justice Theatre Ensemble went swimmingly! Thanks to all who attended and participated!

The Boiler Room?!

A 501(c)(3) non-profit all-ages venue for music and art, poetry and theater, a youth-run business/social experiment, a free soup kitchen, The Boiler Room fosters a culture of volunteers and celebrates community, growth, learning and empowerment of youth and the young-at-heart. We are located in the heart of a small Victorian seaport town (Port Townsend, Washington State) in the Pacific Northwest.

“The Boiler Room has been many things to many people. A coffeehouse, an art gallery, a private business, a nonprofit teen center, a cause, a scapegoat. But to me it has been a salvation – a place to be, and belong. Home. I’ve worked with some of the finest human beings I’ve met to preserve a common goal of home for ourselves and anyone else who needed it, to resolve the question of where do I belong. So many people ask it, and we can never afford to let ignorance settle such questions.” - Jake Kelly, former BR Manager
