Mixed Precipitation presents Hit the Wall by Ike Holter 

Mixed Precipitation is thrilled to present the Minnesota premier of this incredible play. With a team of queer artists, we're honoring our brave and bold ancestors who continued the queer liberation saga. It'll be fun, dangerous, fabulous, and heartfelt.

It's the summer of '69 and the death of music icon Judy Garland has emboldened her LGBTQIA+ followers. A routine police raid on an underground Greenwich Village hotspot erupts in to a full-scale riot, the impetus of the modern gay rights movement. That's the well-known, oft-rehearsed myth of Stonewall, anyhow. Remixing this historic confrontation reveals ten unlikely revolutionaries, caught in the turmoil and fighting to claim "I was there."

This is the third production in The Southern's AMPLIFY Series.
AMPLIFY: to make larger, greater, stronger: to increase in strength. The AMPLIFY series gives artistic voice and platform to underrepresented stories in the arts.
