Frack Theatre to Present STONEWALL'D, 7/13

Frack Theatre presents Stonewall'd at the Stonewall Inn in NYC on Monday, July 13 at 8pm. Tickets are $5 at the door.

A staged reading of Frack Theatre's "Stonewall'd," intertwines the stories of a homeless and hopeful trans girl living with HIV, a 74-year-old bartender at the Stonewall Inn, an inspired Lutheran priest, a carefree party boy, and a tireless activist.

Weeks after the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in all 50 states, Frack Theatre brings together these characters in Stonewall'd, a play recounting the tragedies and triumphs of New York's LGBT community. Stonewall'd is scripted from hours of interviews with real-life characters in the West Village as they document important moments in history, from the Stonewall riots and the AIDS epidemic to the fall of DOMA. Interweaving oral history and archival documents with music, song and dance, Stonewall'd presents a world that is sometimes heart-breaking but always fiercely fabulous and incredibly brave.

Underneath the thick crust of a homogenized society lie the deep, profound and moving stories that so often remain untold.
