Doric Wilson's 1982 play STREET THEATER is a witty, satirical take of the events on Christopher Street, in Greenwich Village, on June 27, 1969. The day culminated in the Stonewall Rebellion, when
patrons barricaded the police inside the Stonewall Inn during one of the frequent police raids on gay bars. The ensuing riot paved the way for the beginning of the modern gay rights movement; it has
become "the day the gays fought back." Based upon actual events, the comedy follows the exchanges between these characters in the hours leading up to the police raid. It documents the historic
beginning of a long lasting civil right movement. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Doric Wilson was a participant in all three nights of the Stonewall riots. He helped pioneer the Off-Off
Broadway theatre movement, was a founding member of Circle Repetory Theater and TOSOS II (The Other Side of Silence.) In 1994 he received the Robert Chesley award for Lifetime achievement in Gay
Theater. He resides in New York City. Tickets available at the OSU Theatre Box Office Thurs-Fri noon-5p.m. Sat. 6:30-7:30 p.m. call 541-737-2853 or online visit http://oregonstate.edu/dept/theatre/
