Event Dates

Join the Meta Theatre Company for two performances in one amazing weekend!

Day 1: Dismantling the Racism Machine (Sat 5/20 at 8:00 pm): using concepts from the book "Dismantling the Racism Machine: A Manual and Toolbox" by Dr. Karen Gaffney, this interactive show is designed to illustrate how racism was invented, and how the patterns of white supremacy and patriarchy continue to show up in our personal lives, laws and policies.

Day 2: Tentacles (Sun 5/21 at 4:00 pm): following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, this show sparks conversations about systemic oppression, the oppressive history of white feminism, and how to improve cross-racial dialogues within organizations. Through guided discussion, audiences learn to recognize and remove the tentacles of white supremacy that bind us all.

The Meta Theatre Company (MTC) is a 501-C(3) non-profit organization that seeks to abolish systemic oppression through live, interactive performance. We aim to build a liberating world that does not exist yet by supporting and amplifying the leadership and radical imagination of historically marginalized groups, and teaching those who’ve historically had access to power how to develop their radical imagination to abolish systems of oppression. MTC works to create theatre about the issues of white privilege, race, class, gender and sexual orientation, and how systemic oppression shows up in our personal lives. Through this work, we help audiences create social change in their communities. MTC provides performances of all kinds, including trainings for organizations, awareness-raising pieces for conferences and community organizations, and performance as a means of healing. Our cast consists of women inside and outside the prison walls.
