The Mountaintop by Katori Hall

A gripping re-imagination of the events that took place the night before civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was assassinated. After delivering one of his most memorable speeches on April, 3, 1968, an exhausted Dr. King returns to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages outside. When a maid arrives with some surprising news, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy to his people.

As part of their Diversity Guest Artist Series, Kalamazoo College's Festival Playhouse partnered with the Black Arts & Cultural Center’s Face Off Theatre Company to bring THE MOUNTAINTOP to Kalamazoo. Over a weekend of four performances, nearly 1,000 people came to experience Face Off Theatre's third show of the season.  Actors Tanisha Pyron and Kenajuan Bentley (both WMU Theatre alums) delivered powerful performances and were graced with standing ovations every night.  Each show was also followed by engaging community discussions with different community leaders. 

"In the hands of Kalamazoo’s Black Arts and Cultural Center’s Face Off Theatre Company as part of their inaugural season, it’s a riveting, poignant, and surprisingly hilarious 90-minute two-person show that reveals Dr. King’s humanity and gives us pause about his legacy."-
