This week on the show we are joined by Donna Personna & Mark Nassar two of the three writers — along with Collette LeGrande — of The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot which has returned to San Francisco’s Tenderloin after a successful run in 2018. The immersive, interactive play brings to life the 1966 uprising in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district that was one of the first acts of organized LGBTQ+ resistance in the United States pre-dating the Stonewall Riots by three years.Donna beings her real life experience of being part of the Tenderloin’s LGBTQ+ community at the time of riot, and her years as an advocate for transgender rights to the story while Mark brings a career that includes being one of the creators of the long standing interactive theatre hit Tony & Tina’s Wedding to bear on bringing this moment of sometimes hidden San Francisco history to life.SHOW NOTESThe Compton’s Cafeteria Riot Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria Donna The Next Stage Immersive Summit Hosted on Acast.
