In the play, an exhausted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. retires to Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel after delivering his memorable “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech at a Memphis church during the sanitation workers strike. When a mysterious young hotel maid comes to his room that evening, King is forced to confront his mortality and the future of his people.
The Mountaintop features Associate Professor Mark Cryer as Martin Luther King Jr. and Kiana Sosa ’15 as Camae.
