The Community

It’s 400 years in the future, and humanity has rebuilt itself after an apocalyptic event that sent the survivors into another dark age. The only artifact they have from the previous civilization is a book on the history of the Stonewall Uprising. This madcap dystopian comedy asks, “What happens when a society is built on the story of Stonewall, and what happens when someone wants to deviate from the norms?”
