The Skidmore Theater Department and the Skidmore Pride Alliance are proud to present “Stonewall” an exploration of the Stonewall riots of the late 1960’s and LGBT issues of all kinds from the past 40 years. The Stonewall Company is a group of activist-artists lead by director Rob Hill ’09 showing their play Stonewall Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 8pm in Falstaff’s.

Around 1:20AM on June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn as was routine of the time. The response was not unusual at first, but as patrons and passers-by alike gathered outside, a feeling of discontent grew into anger and ultimately hours of violent riots that continued periodically for six days.

The Stonewall Riots did not begin the gay liberation movement, but turned it from conservative to radical, from underground to in-your-face, from ineffective to successful.
