Save Our Stages

"It's been maddening, absolutely maddening."

"These venues are the lifeblood of our communities. They were the first to close and will be the last to open. This bill gives them a fighting chance.”

"This is serious business, this is not a laughing matter."

"We’re not going to be able to rebuild these from zero. You can’t knock out all the mom and pops and think that more mom and pops will spring up. If we knock them out, it’s just chains."

"Independent venues...were the first to be closed, they will be the last to open. The economic recovery process will extend past just reopening the front doors, requiring solutions unique to the industry."
