FULL DESCRIPTION

The Mountaintop, by Katori Hall, directed by Jenelle Baptiste, is a controversial, thought-provoking play which takes place in the motel room of Martin Luther King Jr. on the night before his assassination. Dr. King (played by Marcus Ivey - you may have seen his sterling performance in Blood Knot) and the maid (played by Nicee Wagner - recently seen in The Hollow), discuss the issues facing Dr. King and the conversation reveals a surprising twist.  Katori Hall is an award-winning playwright and television creator/producer hailing from Memphis, Tennessee. She won the prestigious Olivier Award in London, England, for The Mountaintop in 2010. Not only is she a two-time Tony Award nominee, she won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for her play, The Hot Wing King
