What is Team Pointless?
Team Pointless is a super secret society. Team Pointless is an exclusive, luxurious social club. Team Pointless is your new raison d'être. Team Pointless is the future.
But mostly, TEAM POINTLESS is Pointless Theatre's brand new membership program; it's a chance for you to join a community of unique individuals who are dedicated to supporting the artistic mission of your favorite DC puppet theatre company in a truly deep and sustainable way. With six levels of membership, starting at only $50, you can become a founding team member and receive wonderful rewards ranging from a sweet button (to show off your Pointless pride!), to a free Pointless T-shirt, to tickets to opening night of this season's shows, to a tea party with our lovely and talented co-Artistic Directors.
And no matter which level you choose, you will be endowed with the great satisfaction of knowing that your tax-deductible contribution will go towards helping Pointless do what it does best-- bringing bold, visceral and affordable puppet spectacles to the DC Metropolitan Area.
