MEOW!
co-created and performed by Matthew Antoci and Meaghan Robichaud.
The 10th Exponential Festival
The Loading Dock
January 7-17, 2025
A noir cabaret, an Americana burlesque, a fading starlet’s last chance at the spotlight: Matthew & Meaghan’s MEOW! revisits the documentary classic Grey Gardens through the eyes of Little Edie’s mysterious city life of the 80s. Hosted by a pair of shape-shifting oracles in 50-inch wigs - lip syncs, looks, and lots of razzmatazz create a send-off for America as we know it.

"It was one of those shows that's just total, total chaos in a way that I really love." - Peter Mills Weiss on MEOW! in The New York Times
"Matthew and Meaghan are two incredibly unique, skilled, nasty, idiotic, brilliant artists who fill me with hope for the present and future of performance / art / theater. They make work that surprises me, scares me and makes me cackle. They make work that defies categorization. They make work I really really want to experience." - Theresa Buchheister, Staff Picks
