The Coat-check Girl at the Point After: 1979 to 1982

The Coat-check Girl at the Point After: 1979 to 1982 by Masha Krupp

In the 1970s and 80s, Edmonton became known as The City of Champions.

This booming city needed a place for its newest stars, like Wayne Gretzky and Warren Moon, to celebrate and indulge away from prying eyes. A place where they could rub shoulders with the general public, the common folk, not just as local legends, but as fellow everyday working Canadians.

That place was the Point After.

From her perch as resident coat-check girl in the nightclub, Masha Krupp had a front row seat interacting with and observing celebrities mingling with ordinary Edmontonians.

The Coat-check Girl at the Point After brings to life the world of 70-80s Edmonton as Masha navigates her new offbeat job, while juggling graduate school and single-motherhood.

By observing these larger-than-life individuals, Masha got to witness the humanity that lay beneath the stars and find the shining light in her own life story.
