RAID! Attack on Stonewall
StageQ
Bartell Theatre 113 E. Mifflin St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703

In 1969, a routine police raid on a mob-owned, queer speakeasy in NYC turned into a weeklong riot that launched the Gay Liberation Movement. In honor of the 50th anniversary, Madison theater company StageQ asked local playwright Malissa Petterson to adapt the famous — and famously misunderstood — story into an immersive theatrical production that brings the audience inside the historic moment.
7:30 pm on 4/19-20 & 24-26 and 2 pm, 4/21 & 27, Bartell Theatre. $20.
