"The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot" Play Open House Block Party

SEE EVENT DETAILS
TLM hosts a block party in Myrtle Alley-the outdoor space adjacent to The Compton's Cafeteria Riot's new venue at 835 Larkin-to gather our community, give friends & neighbors a chance to learn about play's upcoming production, and request free/sliding community tickets, DJs, live music, and drag performances.

Perhaps you've heard that a new production of The Compton's Cafeteria Riot play is in the works? Not only is the Tenderloin Museum bringing this immersive theater piece back to life, and we've been working to create a permanent home for the play in a long vacant commercial to create a dedicated venue and truly immersive environment for this powerful story. The space is located in the neighborhood where the eponymous riot went down, on a block of Larkin St. that's having a resurgence of queer community and queer-owned business like Rosebud Gallery, Moth Belly Gallery, and the Bob Mizer Foundation/The Magazine.

The Compton's creative team has nearly completed the transformation of 835 Larkin St. into the Compton's Cafeteria, and we're ready to give people a sneak peek! Powered by a TLCBD Mini-Grant through the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development, Tenderloin Museum hosts an Open House & Block Party on the afternoon of May 11th, featuring live music and DJs, drag performances, info and artwork from our neighbors, as well as an opportunity to request free/sliding scale community tickets for when the play officially opens this fall.
