Mary's Oceana is a nightclub and roller skating rink operated by Mary Winegrower, located in Hurbanova, Oceana. It is located in the former Hurbanova Orphanage for Girls & Boys. Since the early 1970s, it has been a venue for various genres of music and a venue for Broadway music and plays.
History[]
The Hurbanova Orphanage for Girls & Boys opened in 1932 and was operated by American expat Sarah Michaels, a strict and no-nonsense woman who did not approve of anything that children love: toys, decorations, singing, and even pets. She had a furnace which she used to burn all the toys she confiscated from the children who rightfully owned them. Following intervention from witnesses, she was fired from taking care of the children, arrested, and then executed by anvil testing (being used as the test object to be crushed).
In 1972, after standing derelict and decrepit for many years, nightclub owner Mary Winegrower bought the building from the city of Hurbanova for US$560,000. She then had the interior completely gutted and then laid a concrete floor from front to back. Mary's Oceana opened in 1980.
The venue started booking musical acts and musicals in 1981, and many famous performers have played there since.
In 2015, during the Burenian invasion of Lovia, it was seized by Burenia and during the invasion it was used as an armory. Once the invasion ended, Mary held a huge "Destroy Burenia Now!" event, with artists such as Fan Fiction Simulacrum, Crime Wave, and Konikaami no Konikaami performing and the burning of 23 Burenian flags. It was controversially received, and Mary soon apologized.
