The Meeting
By Jeff Stetson
Directed by Karen Christina Jones
February 7-9, 2025
We honor Black History Month with this eloquent play which depicts an imagined meeting of two of the most important men of modern times: Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Differing in their philosophies, but alike in their mutual respect, the two men debate their varying approaches to the same grave social problems, both prepared to die for their beliefs but neither aware of how soon their assassins’ bullets would await them.
“A remarkable, intensely intimate meeting full of undisguised competitiveness, deep passion and potent reasoning … enthralling.” (Chicago Sun-Times)
