(The last show was June 25.) I believe the space is still empty, waiting for a new tenant. - -Tim THE POINT TO CLOSE BRYN MAWR LOCATION After almost 7 years The Point will be leaving Bryn Mawr for a new location. Thanks to all of you, it has been an amazing run with over 1450 shows and 140,000 tickets sold. We have become a nationally known venue that has developed the reputation as one of the top listening rooms in the country. A room artists can come and develop their career in front of an attentive, appreciative audience, again, thanks to all of you. After months of negotiating with our landlord, we were unable to reach a new lease agreement. We had planned to make a considerable investment in upgrading the kitchen (enabling us to have a more extensive menu), adding a liquor license (serving wine by the glass, micro brews, martinis and the like), and sprucing up the place. We would continue to do all ages shows for our early shows, with the late shows being 21 & older. After giving a preliminary approval, the landlord began having concerns of how our having a liquor license would negatively impact the neighborhood. Even with our assurances that we were not going to change what had made The Point successful, and that we have always strived to make positive contributions to the community, we were unable to agree on a lease term that would justify the kind of financial commitment we intended to make. It is really unfortunate, we would have liked to remain at our current location. I believe that we brought a lot to the community and our plans would have had a positive impact on the future growth of Bryn Mawr. We are truly saddened to be leaving. We are aggressively searching for a new location. We have a few things we're looking at and are open to any location ideas any of you may have. We will continue to do shows at The Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, as well as producing outdoor events like Eagleview Concerts on the Square, co-production of the Sundown Music Series (with our friends at Jack Utsick Presents NE, Inc.) and the Philadelphia Weekly Concert Series. In addition we will be looking at utilizing other venues in the area to produce shows for our regular artists.
