'Fight Back' Turns Audience Members into Participants in an Act Up Meeting
Podcast:All Of It with Alison Stewart Published On: Thu May 07 2026 Description: The theatrical experience 'Fight Back' invites audience members into an interactive experience. Each audience member is given a character, the identity of someone who attended a real ACT UP New York meeting on March 13, 1989. Once the show begins, they play out the meeting as participants. "Fight Back" is running two more shows, on May 11 and May 18. The show's creator, David Wise, discusses the theatrical experience, alongside producer George Straus, who also experienced the show as a participant.
