The Mountaintop at Gil Cates Theater

Its April 3, 1968 and Martin Luther King, Jr. returns to the Lorraine Motel after delivering his history-altering Ive Been to the Mountaintop speech. When he orders room service, a young maid arrives with a revelation that calls Dr. King to confront unwelcome truths. As a lightning storm rages outside, the legacy of Americas most revered civil rights leader is laid bare to reveal his profound humanity. A single nights reckoning with racism, righteousness, and the rocky path toward justice, The Mountaintop imagines what Dr. Kings last night on Earth could have been.
