The Mountaintop

November 6 - November 24, 2024

Mainstage

A story about doubt, faith, and history in the making. 

It’s April 3, 1968, and you're in Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. It's the final night in the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and things are about to get real. In "The Mountaintop," see Dr. King as you've never seen him before as he reflects on his life, struggles, and hopes for the future. But he's not alone—enter Camae, the sassy and mysterious hotel maid with a lot to say. Through poignant dialogue and powerful monologues, "The Mountaintop" offers a humanizing portrayal of King, revealing the man behind the myth and highlighting the complexities of his life and work.

Art Matters

Art Matters because it reminds us we are human. Storytelling is our oldest tradition and sharing stories is what bonds us

Avery Anderson

Art Matters because it is a way to cope with our own realities and express ourselves.

Jana Henson

Art helps us connect with one another and become better humans. It reminds us of the universal human experience.

Jessy Julianna

Art Matters because it creates experiences that are etched in our minds which fosters beautiful moments in our hearts.

Pamela Arbisi

Art provides a safe space to explore ideas and experiences in multiple mediums. It can also be a sanctuary of sorts, especially when you are without autonomy. I think art matters because it can literally save lives.

Stella

Whether watching a performance, viewing visual art, listening to a concert, reading a story, or actually immersed in creating something myself, I am free of the normal constant, confining mind chatter we so often experience.. Like meditation, how refreshing, how healing to step outside of ourselves to join the universal spirit community of art. And how engaging and devoid of loneliness it is! So how could anyone get along without at least a miniscule portion of time with at least one of the myriad forms of art?
