The Mountaintop

About the Event

Experience The Mountaintop, a gripping reimagining of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s final night on earth. Written by acclaimed playwright Katori Hall, this Olivier Award–winning drama transports audiences to Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN where an unexpected visitor challenges King’s legacy, humanity, and destiny. Blending powerful storytelling with moments of humor, heart, and magical realism, The Mountaintop invites us to see the man behind the icon while reflecting on the ongoing struggle for justice. Running May 23rd through June 22nd at the Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center, this unforgettable production promises to inspire, provoke, and move you. Get your tickets today!
