The Mountaintop

The Mountaintop is happening on Saturday,July 01,2023 at 08:00PM PDT at Geffen Playhouse - Gil Cates Theater with tickets starting at $25.

It’s April 3, 1968 and Martin Luther King, Jr. returns to the Lorraine Motel after delivering his history-altering “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech. When he orders room service, a young maid arrives with a revelation that calls Dr. King to confront unwelcome truths. As a lightning storm rages outside, the legacy of America’s most revered civil rights leader is laid bare to reveal his profound humanity. A single night’s reckoning with racism, righteousness, and the rocky path toward justice, "The Mountaintop" imagines what Dr. King’s last night on Earth could have been.
