The Meta Theatre Company

Affiliate Member Theatre in Lebanon, NJ

Member overview

The Meta Theatre Company (MTC) is a 501-C(3) non-profit organization that seeks to abolish systemic oppression through live, interactive performance. They aim to build a liberating world that does not exist yet by:

  • Supporting and amplifying the leadership and radical imagination of historically marginalized groups
  • Teaching those who’ve historically had access to power how to develop their radical imagination to abolish systems of oppression

MTC has produced, written, and performed original productions about social justice issues in our community for over 10 years. During the first 8 years, MTC rehearsed weekly inside a women’s prison; their current cast consists of women inside and outside the prison walls who are activists in a variety of areas including housing outreach, education, social work and therapeutic services, interpersonal violence, LGBTQIA+ communities, and justice-impacted individuals.

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.

If you’d like to support The Meta Theatre Company’s mission, consider a one-time or monthly donation. In addition to “keeping the lights on,” these funds help MTC provide concrete and emotional wellbeing to the justiceimpacted cast members.
