Synopsis
When a church service in 1858 Kansas turns into a rally against slavery, the congregation is divided between the deacon and the pastor when dealing with the new slave owner in town. Deacon McPhearson rallies the congregation against the newest attendees recently arrived from Missouri with their three slaves. Meanwhile Reverend Johnson continues to preach love over judgment despite the increasingly riled congregation. A Meeting in Kansas exposes the conflicting perspectives of slavery by proclaimed Christians during “Bloody Kansas.” The audience can feel the tension as the actors are interspersed in pews, shouting across the sanctuary—accusations flying. This one-act play snapshots the two warring sides of slavery with the church caught in the middle.
