Play about '69 gay riots to be shown in Pasco

By the Herald staff

A screening of the DVD Street Theater starts at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Out and About nightclub, 327 W. Lewis St., Pasco.

Street Theater, a play written by former Tri-Citian Doric Wilson, takes a farcical look at gay life in New York City before the Stonewall riots.

The riots were a series of violent demonstrations against a 1969 police raid at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village that are cited as the start of the gay rights movement.

Admission is $5 at the door and is open to the 21 and older crowd only.
