The Mountaintop at ShenanArts

300 Churchville Avenue Staunton

The night before his assassination King retires to room 306 in the now famous Lorraine Motel after giving an acclaimed speech to a massive church congregation.

When a mysterious young maid visits him to deliver a cup of coffee, King is forced to confront his past and the future of his people.

Katori Hall’s award-winning play is heartbreaking, humorous and breathtakingly powerful.  The Mountaintop also explores being human in the face of inevitable death—a dramatic feat of daring originality, historical narration and triumphant compassion.

The Mountaintop contains adult language and is not recommended for children under 16.

February 13-15 and 20-22
Friday-Saturday at 7PM, Sundays at 3PM
