Support Barrier-Free
Those present in the early days of Barrier-Free may remember purchasing tickets and having their change made out of a plastic purple bucket.  Click here to read our full story.

Although we are a long way from plastic bucket days, each year in March we host our
Purple Bucket Direct Donation Campaign.

This year, a generous donor has agreed to match the first $2000 in donations!


Consider making a donation to Barrier-Free this month to help us reach our $4000 goal, for a total of $6000 after matching.

Willing to be a second matching donor?  Contact us directly.

Shows Premiering March 26th
Join us Friday, March 26 at 8pm for the premiere of "Abracadabra, Your Honor" and "I Do, I Think!" 

Act I, "Abracadabra, Your Honor," is about a group of mischievous magicians who are hired to boost revenue at a struggling theater. After a few too many schemes, these magicians find themselves in court being sued by the theater staff! Will justice be served or do these magicians have another trick up their sleeve?

Act II, "I Do, I Think" is about love birds Luigi and Sloane preparing for their "best day ever!"  Everything is smooth and perfect until Steve, an uninvited guest, comes crashing into the party.  Will the wedding proceed?  Has the big day been ruined?  Can anyone stop Steve from eating all the lamb shanks?  Tune in to find out!

These short-films will premiere LIVE on Youtube & Facebook Friday, March 26 at 8pm.
