The Mountaintop Staged Reading

The Mountaintop staged reading runs 1/20 - 1/21

New to the Chipola Theatre lineup is the opportunity to experience staged readings. A staged reading is theatre in its purest form. No set, no props, no costumes. THE MOUNTAINTOP will be read J in the Center for the Arts Experimental Theatre. 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 speeches, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages outside. When a mysterious stranger arrives with some surprising news, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy.
