The gripping re-imagining of events the night before the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, JR.When a mysterious stranger arrives with some surprising news, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy to his people.

A beautiful story that shows him as a man and exemplifies his love for God, Family, and Country through a trans-formative surprise.

“The Mountaintop isn’t a biography, per se, but a rather a very smart, very funny, very moving, and very respectful exploration of the ideas that were occupying Dr King’s mind the night prior to his death…with a clever twist that the audience will absolutely lap up!” – Mark Clements, Artistic Director of Milwaukee Rep Theater
