October 30, 2009 - San Francisco, California - Ever Widening Circle

Ever Widening Circle is an evening of entertainment by professional performers with disabilities. Each year, the event presents performers from a wide range of talents, from music to dance to comedy to poetry. The 11th Annual Ever Widening Circle will feature renowned singer and songwriter Janis Ian, who has recorded such hits as “At Seventeen,” “Jesse” and “Society’s Child.” A career that has spanned more than 40 years, Janis has been prolific in writing and recording music that has garnered her 9 Grammy nominations (2 wins) with her songs being recorded by herself and countless others. In addition to her multi talented musical career, she is also a columnist, lecturer and science fiction writer. This year’s event will again take place in the ballroom of the downtown Oakland Marriott on Friday, October 30, 2009. The evening will open with writer and performer Greg Walloch and include a variety of exquisite desserts that will be served during intermission. Ever Widening Circle battles negative stereotypes of disabled people and serves as a model for presenting entertainment that is accessible for all audiences.
