The Mountaintop imagines what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s last night on Earth might have been. After delivering one of his most memorable speeches, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages outside. When he orders room service, a young maid arrives with a revelation that calls Dr. King to confront unwelcome truths. It’s a conversation about divergent paths of legacy, and how sometimes a great man is also human.

Three generations of women gather for cards and conversation in a small NC town in the summer of 1970. The hot topic of this Thursday night is the news that desegregation has come to La Grange public schools. Typically a silent witness, the family’s Black housekeeper finally shares her hand, revealing the effects of racism embedded in tradition. With a Steel Magnolias feel, this new work blends thought-provoking drama with witty southern comedy.

Nothing has to be perfect, just Next to Normal.
