The Meeting\u00a0is an immersive, near-future gathering disguised as a simple discussion where five former creators navigate a world in which art is forbidden. As memories are shared and language becomes dangerous, the audience is drawn into a tense, darkly funny exploration of identity, resistance, and what it means to be human when expression itself is outlawed.<\/p>\n
Theatre Unleashed presented\u00a0The Meeting\u00a0at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe Festival. The production garnered both critical acclaim and a nomination for the Fringe Award for Immersive Theatre.<\/p>\n
The cast will feature Theatre Unleashed company members Veronica Matthews, Julia Plostnieks, Kristen Bennett, Marcela Barrientos, and Mitch Lerner.<\/p>\n
