The Meeting performance

Description

Concordia will host a staged reading of the short play The Meeting in honor of Black History Month. The performance will take place in the Thom Leadership Education Center auditorium on Wednesday,  Feb. 8, at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

The one-act play written by Jeff Stetson captures a hypothetical dialogue between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. one week prior to Malcolm X’s assassination in 1965. It explores the similar views as wells as differences in opinions between these two civil rights leaders.

Director of theatre Bryan Moore will participate in the readings along with students Patrick Tyrance III, senior, Lincoln, Neb., and Charles Washington, senior, Houston, Texas.
