ABOUT THE COMPTON’S CAFETERIA RIOT PLAY: Tenderloin Museum is proud to present The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, an original, interactive theater piece directly inspired by the historic riot for Transgender rights. The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot is an integral piece of the Tenderloin’s identity, and this play offers a singular opportunity for audiences to celebrate the individuals whose tenacious spirit spawned a movement against the long history of discrimination and violence. Attendees will convene for a late night breakfast at our Larkin Street Cafe (a surrogate for the long-gone Compton’s on Turk and Taylor), where a 12 person cast will recreate the neighborhood’s seminal act of resistance and immerse the audience in the tribulations of a marginalized community striving for survival and recognition.

All attendees will be served breakfast food for dinner during the production. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are available and must be selected when purchasing tickets.  Seating: The show is not open seating. Seating is determined ahead of time and is dependent upon the number of tickets purchased.

Join HRC at the pre-show reception at Rosebud Gallery, as we celebrate this  important history and take action in the fight for transgender rights!
