““When I first heard the concept of this show, I honestly didn’t even want to read the script,” said producer and TU co-founder Jenn Crafts. “It’s just too real right now. But I think that that’s the thing that really makes it unique. This play is truly written so beautifully that audiences will really feel like they’re just in a meeting with other concerned citizens. It’s what we all need right now.””
Performance dates:
Friday June 6 2025, 7:00pm
Saturday June 14 2025, 12:00pm

Synopsis: Five former performing artists convene a meeting in a fascist future, when all forms of art (and even the utterance of any art-related words) have been banned. These artists discuss what a person is to do in a world when one’s purpose in life has been eradicated. During the discussion both the artists and attendees (aka “audience”) of The Meeting sit in a circle together… over time they begin to learn even the most fascist society can never stop people from being who they truly are.
