Called “emotionally powerful and theatrically stunning,” by Variety, The Mountaintop finds Dr. King at The Lorraine Hotel on April, 3 1968. As he unwinds and prepares, a visit from a hotel maid offers welcome diversion and a challenging new perspective—but also raises profound and surprising questions. Written by Katori Hall and directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah, The Mountaintop runs Jan 9–Feb 24. Tickets and more information can be found at www.centerstage.org/Mountaintop, or by calling 410.332.0033.
Prior to the January 21st production, CENTERSTAGE welcomes one and all to a special celebration of two historic events: the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the inauguration of President Barak Obama with “Living the Dream: From King to Obama.” Performances and speeches from Baltimore’s local youth performing arts groups will explore and reflect on Dr. King’s dream and continuing his work of racial equality. A light reception will follow the performance. The performance begins at 5 pm and is free and open to the public.
