Don't Call it a Riot!
Written and Directed by Amontaine Aurore

It is 1968 and Reed, a member of Seattle's Black Panther Party, must juggle the demands of a new marriage and pregnancy, yet still finds time to fight for liberation and dream of creating a better world. When her best friend Marti moves in, there is yet one more thing on Reed's plate. Reed is unaware of the forces that will eventually destroy the Party, as well as the ones that threaten her happy home. It will take 31 years before she finally discovers the betrayal that was at the root of a dream deferred.

Thurs- Sun, May 10th - 20th, 18th & Union Theater.
