The Stonewall Jukebox
The songs everyone loved. The Story no one knew.
David Driver’s project, The Stonewall Jukebox: A Documentary Concert tells the unknown, unexpected, profoundly uplifting story of how The Stonewall Uprising came to be, and how it impacted contemporary LGBTQ+ culture. Part jubilant musical performance, part little-known oral history, the show pays homage to the very real people who lived, fought, and survived The Stonewall Riots, through musical performances interwoven with contemporaneous texts pulled from magazines, books, interviews, and songs that were played at The Stonewall Inn. The project sheds a light on the social and political climate that paved the way for those remarkable events.
