For the first time in three years Disability Rights Washington (DRW) is hosting Breaking Barriers: A Celebration of Disability Community in person on Thursday, June 1st from 6:00-8:30pm PST. The event is being held at the spectacular 415 Westlake venue in Seattle with a variety show that celebrates the talents and voices of disabled performers.

DRW, a pioneering disability rights advocacy organization, is planning a unique evening of community building and live performances spotlighting stand-up comedy with D-List comedian Michael Bellevue, legendary hip-hop with King Khazm, a sneak preview of an upcoming production by Sound Theatre Company, award-winning poetry by Jeannine Gailey, and uplifting musical performances by Nick Baker. Dynamic duo Mickey Rowe and Helen Marion-Rowe once again will bring their high-octane energy to emcee the soiree, which features disabled artists, musicians and actors, special guest speaker State Representative Darya Farivar, an exclusive raffle, hearty hors d'oeuvres, local wine and beer and rock star DRW advocates.

The venue is barrier-free with wheelchair accessible restrooms. ASL and CART services will be provided. A free livestream option is also available for those who cannot attend in person. Disability Rights Washington’s mission is to advance the dignity, equality, and self-determination of people with disabilities. We work to pursue justice on matters related to human and legal rights. All proceeds from the event will support the mission of the organization.
