Community Works, in association with Shades of Truth Entertainment presents Jeff Stetson’s The Meeting. Directed by Eric Coleman, this powerful drama stars acclaimed actors Michael Green as Dr. King, Lawrence Winslow as Malcolm X, and Ron Wilks as Rashad.

The Meeting is the recipient of eight NAACP Theater Image awards, the Louis B. Mayer Award, and six New York AUDELCO Award nominations. It is an engaging and cleverly written play that depicts a fictional secret meeting between Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. Following the bombing of the home of Malcolm X, and one week before his assassination in 1965, Malcolm and Martin meet in a room in Harlem’s historic Hotel Teresa – where Malcolm X has chosen to stay with his bodyguard Rashad for the safety of his family – to discuss their differing philosophies and roads to freedom. This fascinating play spotlights the impact that these two icons of the Civil Rights movement had on America.
