Set April 3, 1968, The Mountaintop is a gripping reimagining of the night before the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. After delivering one of his most memorable speeches, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis while a storm rages outside. When Camae, a maid, delivers room service, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy to his people. Max Antoine and Myeisha Essex comprise the cast.

Dunning as stage manager, scenic design by Douglas Cooper, lighting design by Erica Lauren Maholmes, sound design by RMV Studios, props by Marie Barrett, costume coordination by Meg McCrina, and technical direction by Lauren Spilinek.
