Beyond Barriers
March 3 @ 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Probe Ottawa and @missdiagnosis.drag are proud to team up once again to bring you another out of this world event: BEYOND BARRIERS
Beyond Barriers is a masked, COVID-conscious social event showcasing the incredible talents of local disabled artists in a unique, welcoming space. Meet like-minded individuals and forge new connections in an environment designed for comfort and accessibility.
With low lighting, lower volume, and a scent-free space you can relax and enjoy the show. There will be plenty of fidget toys and activities to go along with the show. With accessible gender-neutral washrooms, mandatory consent policies, and a dedicated quiet room, this is not your typical drag or variety show—it’s something truly special.l ✨
Masks are required, and high-quality masks will be available on-site (though we encourage you to bring your own). To promote distancing, ticket sales will be limited.
No membership required.
