Staged Reading of “The Meeting” by Jeff Stetson
Tuesday, February 17 at 7:30 pm
Antioch Foundry Theater

Antioch College’s Coretta Scott King Center, in conjunction with Antioch’s performance program, will present a staged reading of “The Meeting,” a one-act play by Jeff Stetson. Admission is free and the performance is open to the public. “The Meeting” tells the story of a fictitious meeting between Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shortly before Malcolm X is murdered. The action takes place in a Harlem hotel room where Malcolm X and his bodyguard are waiting for the arrival of King. The play explores these two legendary figures in their attempt to find common ground, navigate their divergent philosophies and address the deeply entrenched racism of the U.S. at the time. “The Meeting” is being presented as part of Antioch College’s programming for Black History Month.
