Auditions for "The Meeting"

The Meeeting
Written by Jeff Stetson
Directed by Chuck Mike

In a seventh-floor room in the Teresa Hotel in Harlem, Malcolm X, whose house in Chicago has just been bombed, debates with his bodyguard (Rashad) whether Martin Luther King Jr will honor his invitation and show up. Malcolm views King’s stance on non-violent protests as a signal for White people to harm Blacks. King comes, but not to debate. His mission is far more humane and benevolent. One that Malcolm is surprised and humbled by. The Meeting is a gripping play of ideas, laced with compassion, emotional verve and patches of stark humor. It is a brilliant testimony and tribute to two giants of American civil rights history... and so relevant that it is hard to believe it was not written this year.
