ABOUT the ORGANIZATION
Longmont Out Loud (LOL)
Longmont Out Loud (LOL) is an LLC business run out of Tuscan, AZ. Just kidding, it's run out of Longmont, CO. It was established with a mission to provide the area with safer, inclusive outlets for creative expression.
Established in 2023, LOL strives to weave together the performing arts in curated events that are highly collaborative. It is built on a foundation of theatrical practices, improvisational techniques, and production expertise. What that means and how that shows up, is different in every production.
By the end of our 2024 Summer season, our events have showcased the talent of 37 local creatives with performance backgrounds ranging from stand-up comedy, short form improv, storytelling, poetry and pros, music, film making, real-time digital design, and culinary arts.
During our first Fall/Winter Season, LOL presented The Open Stages at The Times Collaborative, and The Momedy Club, at the Stewart Auditorium. LOL offered it's first class, Viola Spolin Drop-in.
The Sunday Comics have been running since February, 2024. For Mother's Day this year, LOL collaborated with The Matriarchy Presents, to bring Mom Com: A Mother's Day Comedy Showcase.
The 2024 Fall season will present to our community some new performance concepts and bring back some old ones. LOL looks forward to offering a new class line-up and providing new professional development opportunities for Boulder County and Denver Metro Area.
Mission
As a small production company, we are founded on these five main directives:
1) To provide practice and performing spaces that are safer and supportive, inclusive and representative of all voices in the community
2) To pay its creatives, and all members of the organization
3) To provide professional development for its members and community
4) To create highly collaborative events that are great quality while showcasing local talent
5) To create mutually supportive relationships with local businesses
Longmont Out Loud (LOL) acknowledges that the land on which we are performing has been inhabited by Indigenous people for more than 13,000 years. The Arapaho, Ute, Cheyenne, and the other nations associated with this area have ancestral ties to this land and have been mistreated (and continue to be mistreated) and forcibly removed with devastating impacts on their communities. LOL also acknowledges that this acknowledgement doesn't replace taking action in our daily lives and finding ways to make positive changes in our local and global communities.
