THE
MEETING, winner of six NAACP Theater Awards and eight New York
AUDELCO nominations, is coming to Okinawa. The critically acclaimed
play, presented by the Pin Points Theatre Group, Washington,
D. C., will have one showing at Keystone Theater, Kadena Air
Base, Sunday, February 29, 2004, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Doors
will open at 6:00 p.m. at no charge to the public.
The play is a powerful drama about the lives, philosophies and
times of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X and their opposing
approaches to reaching a shared goal of equality.
THE MEETING answers the question, “What would have happened
if Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and Minister Malcolm X had
met before they were assassinated, just three years apart?” It
is an emotional, humorous, and tension-filled confrontation that
gives surprising information about the men and their times.
This exciting drama is being sponsored by the Department of Defense
Education Activity and Department of Defense Dependents Schools
Pacific in celebration of Black History Month and in conjunction
with the Okinawa Branch 1149 of the NAACP; African American Cultural
Association; 10th Area Support Group, Torii Station; and Kadena
Air Base Black History Month Committee. Since 1980, Pin Points
Theater has integrated academic subjects into theatrical formats.
The play has been produced throughout Asia, Europe and the United
States, and provides an opportunity to educate and entertain
children and adults through the arts.
