The Little Theatre Of Winston-Salem Presents THE MOUNTAINTOP

The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem will present the first show of their returning Spotlight Series, The Mountaintop, by Katori Hall, on Friday, January 19, at Mountcastle Forum in Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts, 251 N. Spruce Street in Winston-Salem.

The Mountaintop is a gripping reimagination of events the night before the assassination of the civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On April 3, 1968.

After delivering one of his most memorable and famous speeches, civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. returns to his motel room at the Lorraine Motel with a storm raging outside. With the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Dr. King reflects on his life and his legacy to his people and prepares to make his final stand confronting his destiny.

"Working with The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem has been an amazing experience," said Director Melanie Matthews. "I am looking forward to this phenomenal piece being performed on stage and in front of their wonderful audience.

Director Melanie Matthews notes, "The Little Theatre is known for putting on high-quality productions with incredible actors, so it is an honor to partner with them. I look forward to seeing the brilliant cast and crew bring this piece to life."

The Mountaintop will be directed by Melanie Matthews. This Robot Dreams will design the set, and Grace Hampton will stage manage the production. The cast is as follows:

Tony Browley - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
