“The Riot In Compton’s Cafeteria” Play Workshop | SF

Join them for the second-ever reading of scenes from a new play about Tenderloin history, The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, based on events surrounding the United States’ first-ever anti-police riot by the LGBTQ community.

The first ever reading took place for a packed house at the Tenderloin Museum Turns Two. On July 18th the actors will read a revised version based on feedback from this first performance. They very much value transparency and community input, and invite you to be a part of the process of work-shopping this play. The play will premiere in its finalized form this fall in the Tenderloin.
