Gavin Lawrence in the American Players Theatre production "The Mountaintop," 2021.

press release: By Katori Hall; Directed by Ron OJ Parson.

MAY 14 – JUNE 19

There’s a storm brewing at the Lorraine Motel. And the electricity in room 306 may just overpower the lightning outside, as a weary hero receives a smoke and a reality check from a mysterious housekeeper; both of them roiled by the repercussions. A growing moment of connection, unpredicted and unpredictable. It’s a conversation about racism and justice and holey socks. About the divergent paths of legacy, and how sometimes a great man is also human. A riveting, poetic journey through Martin Luther King Jr.’s missing minutes on April 3, 1968.

Featuring Gavin Lawrence as Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. and Sola Thompson as Camae.

​This performance may contain smoking of tobacco-free cigarettes.

With COVID-19 restrictions changing, more tickets for The Mountaintop are now available. Also, a high-quality, filmed performance will be available 10 days after The Mountaintop opens in the Touchstone Theatre. Bonus: watch it mosquito-free in the comfort of your own home!
