To Celebrate Pride: Voices from Stonewall to be on stage at CAMP June 28 and 29
CAMP Rehoboth Community Center's Elkins-Archibald Atrium
June 28 and 29, 7PM
The 1969 uprising and riot at the Stonewall Inn in New York’s Greenwich Village has been officially recognized as the launch of the modern gay rights movement in the United States. The site on Christopher Street is now a National Monument and the story of Stonewall is a touchstone of LGBTQ history.
Come see the exciting and moving production, Voices from Stonewall on stage at CAMP Rehoboth Community Center for two performances on June 28 and 29 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25.
Did you know that police barricaded themselves inside the Stonewall Inn?
Did you know that the building was set on fire and doused just in time to save it?
Did you know that reporters were INSIDE the bar?
You’ll hear the story through the actual words of the people – the rioters, the police, the journalists who were there, 55 years ago on June 28, 1969, voiced by four dynamic actors recreating the event.
You’ll hear the words from inside and outside the Stonewall when bottles flew, paddy wagons arrived, and young drag queens, homeless kids, transgender youth, some butch lesbians, and a collection of gay people surprised the police and finally fought back.
Voices from Stonewall, written by playwright Michael Gilles and writer Fay Jacobs, directed by Jacobs, premiered at CAMP Rehoboth in June 2019 on Stonewall’s 50th Anniversary. After returning last year, it’s back on stage, with local actors Matty Brown, Gwen Osborne, and Eric Peterson.
