The Mountaintop

About This Event

A play by Katori Hall reimagining the last night of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life.

What to Expect

• 1.The Mountaintop is a dialogue-driven drama set around MLK's last night; expect a tight, powerful performance with sharp exchanges between the characters.
• 2.The Detroit Public Theatre's space is intimate, so you'll feel the actors' every choice up close; expect deliberate pacing and focused storytelling.
• 3.Plan your arrival early to park in nearby streets or lots; concessions, if available, are usually limited—eat before or after.
• 4.Check the program or box office for the show's duration and any post-show discussion or Q&A, which may appear on certain nights.
• 5.Be prepared for heavy themes and mature subject matter; this is thoughtful, provocative drama and not recommended for kids.
