Admission: $34-$48
Featuring NYC Equity guest actors J. Jerome Rogers and Crystin Gilmore, The Mountaintop is a compelling, fictional depiction of Martin Luther King Jr’s last night on earth set entirely in Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel on the eve of his assassination in 1968.
This is a story written to humanize Dr. King, to help us understand that you don’t have to be superhuman to be a hero.

Dock Street Theatre

The true story of a future president’s whirlwind romance in WWII Charleston.
Julian Wiles’s JFK and Inga Binga tells the incredible true story of young Ensign John F. Kennedy and his WWII affair with Inga Arvad, a former Miss Denmark and suspected Nazi spy. Drawn from the secret files of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and set in the Francis Marion Hotel, with FBI agents listening in from the room next door, this farcical retelling of the youthful exploits of the man who would be President, brought down the house at the Dock Street Theatre when it world-premiered in 2012 and now returns for an encore engagement.
