About this event

A gripping reimagining of events the night before the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

What to Expect

  • 1.Plan to arrive 15-20 minutes early to park nearby and find Detroit Public Theatre without stressing.
  • 2.The space is intimate and seating is close; you’ll feel every line and performance more than in a big house, so stay focused and mute your phone.
  • 3.This play tackles heavy historical themes and emotional moments, so be prepared for a serious, thought-provoking mood and give yourself a moment to process at the end.
  • 4.Keep conversations outside the auditorium or whisper softly during scenes; photography or recording is typically not allowed during the performance.
  • 5.If there’s a post-show discussion or audience Q&A, consider sticking around for extra context and perspectives on the piece.
