Kick off your school year with a field trip to the Alliance Theatre for THE MOUNTAINTOP - a gripping reimagining of events the night before the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Taking place on April 3, 1968, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis after delivering one of his most memorable speeches. When a mysterious young woman named Camae delivers room service, the two engage in humorous conversation that progresses into a soul-searching discussion about their mutual hopes and fears. When Camae reveals her secret, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy to his people. “Audacious [and] inventive” (Associated Press), the Olivier Award-winning play offers an intimate and empathetic portrait of one of history’s most consequential figures told by one of today’s most important writers, Pulitzer Prize winner Katori Hall (The Hot Wing King).
