Shadow Company presents
The Meal
The Meal
Welcome to the Bustleton High Class of 2014! Join us for an immersive 10 Year Reunion: a yacht party celebrating our highs, our lows, the fortunes we were born into and the fame we earned. Gossip, banter, old crushes, old grudges, and evergreen egos: anything could happen at sea…
An immersive anticapitalist performance in the most unlikely setting: the reunion dinner cruise of an exclusive private high school for the children of wealthy elites. In The Meal, a group of prominent alumni gleefully reopen old wounds, sometimes overlapped with flashbacks, movement sequences and song. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the working people on the yacht are sharing a very different experience. Audience members will have the opportunity to consent to interactive moments with performers (no physical contact).

A performing arts company made of high school students, Shadow Company members learn about all aspects of the theater-making process, including on and offstage roles. . With an ensemble-based methodology, they work with a director and professional artists to build their skills as artists, collaborators, leaders, and citizens. Each year, Shadow Company collaboratively devises an original work of theater using a blend of techniques, including: creative co-writing, improvisation, collage-making, structured discussion, workshop performances, playlist-making, and freewheeling “try it!”-style rehearsals.
This event is appropriate for ages 13+
Please note the show mentions of substance abuse, bullying, hazing, vehicular manslaughter; implied mention (NO depiction) of inappropriate sexual conduct involving a minor; character death.
This is an immersive performance. The audience will be seated at all times, with intermission. Audience members will have the opportunity to consent to interactive moments with performers, which will not include physical contact. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to mic our performers; audience members who are hard of hearing should request accommodated seating when reserving tickets, and should be aware that their experience of the show may still be impacted. We’re very sorry about this and are hoping to be more accessible in the future.
