Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute

Seattle’s only all Black comedy showcase proudly presents a Juneteenth special variety show featuring comedy, burlesque and musical performances from an all Black cast.

Join us for an unforgettable celebration of visionary brilliance, radical imagination, and Black speculative genius at the Octavia E. Butler Birthday Bash! We’re honoring the legendary author whose words continue to shape futures and fuel dreams. Doors open at noon, performances begin at 1 PM.

Each month we will devote our attention to a selected title from within these vast categories, centering the works of foundational authors.
