Photo Flash: Sneak Peek at Bowman Wright and Joaquina Kalukango in THE MOUNTAINTOP at Arena Stage
Katori Hall's Olivier Award-winning drama The Mountaintop comes to Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater following an acclaimed run at the Alley Theatre in Houston. Obie Award winner Robert O'Hara (Public Theater's Wild with Happy) makes his Arena Stage directorial debut with The Mountaintop, which is produced in association with the Alley Theatre and runs March 29-May 12, 2013 in the Kreeger Theater. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production below.
Returning to their roles from Houston are Bowman Wright (Marin Theatre Company's Topdog/Underdog) as DR. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Drama Desk Award nominee Joaquina Kalukango (Hall's Hurt Village at Signature Theatre in New York) as Camae. The Houston Chronicle declared that Wright "beautifully inhabits Dr. King with a shining sense of humanity that serves as an example to us all," while Kalukango's performance was praised by Broadway World as "radiant and brilliant, showcasing a talent for striking and stunning performances that will be worth following."
The creative team for The Mountaintop includes Set & Costume Designer Clint Ramos, Lighting Designer Japhy Weideman, Sound Designer & Composer Lindsay Jones, Projection Designer Jeff Sugg, Stage Manager William Cruttenden and Assistant Stage Manager Marne Anderson.
