A participant in all three nights of the Stonewall Riot, he became active in the early days of the New York Gay Liberation movement as a member of GAA (Gay Activist Alliance) and as a "star" bartender and manager of the post-Stonewall gay bar scene, opening such landmark institutions as the Spike, TY’s and Brothers & Sisters Cabaret. In 1974, Doric Wilson and Billy Blackwell formed TOSOS (The Other Side of Silence), the first professional theatre company to deal openly and honestly with the gay experience. The company featured new plays and revivals by such writers as Robert Patrick, Sandra Scoppettone, Lanford Wilson, Peter del Valle, Terrance McNally and Martin Sherman. In 1994 Wilson received the first Robert Chesley Award for Lifetime Achievement in Gay Theatre. He is currently working on two new plays: An Object of Affection and Saints on a Secret Mission and is involved with two theatre companies: Dragonfly Productions and the NativeAliens Theatre Collective.
