About this Event

Join us at the Lakewood Playhouse for a one-of-a-kind event blending live performance with an interactive panel discussion. The panel features leaders on the front lines of homelessness, addiction, public safety, and recovery. Together, we will explore the the real solutions that can make a difference in Pierce County and beyond. Tickets are $20 in advance, or $30 at the door.

This interactive evening invites the audience into the conversation. You will hear from people with lived experience, advocates delivering critical services, elected officials shaping policy, and professionals in treatment and law enforcement who see these issues every single day.

Featured guests include:
Yasmin Trudeau, Senator
Paul Herrera, Pierce County Council Vice-Chair
Ginny Burton, O-UT (Lived Experience)
Art Dahlen, Battlefield Addiction (Treatment)
Mary Robnett, Pierce County Prosecutor
Patti Jackson, Tacoma Police Chief

Moderated by Lakewood City Councilmember Philip Lindholm, host of The Informed Citizen podcast.
