The Mountaintop
March 4 - 22, 2026 THE MOUNTAINTOP by Katori Hall Directed by JAMIL A.C. MANGAN It’s April 3, 1968, and 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 maid 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 a secret, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy. This Olivier Award-winning play offers an intimate and empathetic portrait of one of history’s most consequential leaders told by one of today’s most important writers, Pulitzer Prize winner Katori Hall (The Hot Wing King). "Audacious [and] inventive” -Associated Press "“[THE MOUNTAINTOP] crackles with theatricality and a humanity more moving than sainthood." -Newsday (NY)
