THE MOUNTAINTOP
October 30 – December 14, 2025
By Katori Hall
Directed by Brett Ashley Robinson
Arcadia Stage
Synopsis
After delivering his “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. retires to his motel room, when an unexpected visit from a mysterious maid sparks a night of conversation. As the evening unfolds, King is gradually revealed in all his complexity: a man grappling with doubt, destiny, and the weight of what’s to come. This intimate reimagining of King’s final night is a powerful meditation on legacy and the man behind the movement that shaped a nation.
