Your Theatre, the professional division of The Highwood Theatre, is thrilled to present the world premiere of RIOT, a new, original play devised entirely by the cast and creative team. This groundbreaking production is part of Highwood's 3rd annual Open Source Theatre Project, which focuses on collaboration to explore non-traditional theatre experiences. This engaging, audience-immersive performance centers around an event which residents of the DC area are all too familiar with: a protest. Dealing with relevant issues such as race, discrimination and class inequality, RIOT gives the audience a chance to voice their opinions throughout the show to guide the choices characters make and steer the direction of the plot.

The project consists of a variety of performances which will explore our connections to one another, revealing that despite our differences, we're all only human.
