Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech Washington Mall, August 28, 1963.

1 From the Artistic Director

“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

In her remarkable and fearless play, , playwright Katori Hall takes us on an imagined journey through the final night in the life of Dr. King. Set in Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in early April, 1968, on the eve of his assassination, Katori Hall engages in a brave re-imagining of the character of Dr. King. Seeing him as both an exhausted and all-too-human man struggling with events that are out of his control, and as the man of faith who wrestles with his God in a titanic battle of faith, The Mountaintop is a play of huge reach and ambition set in the sort of mundane room we take for granted and pass through every day.

I am thrilled that ATC is again introducing the work of exciting American playwrights to Arizona. The Mountaintop is a play that took the world by surprise, but Ms. Hall is a playwright who has already given us several more plays of depth, intelligence, and gripping theatricality. Opening in a small fringe theatre in London, The Mountaintop won the Olivier Award for Best Play (Britain’s version of the Tony Award) and then went on to Broadway and many other productions around the world. It is always particularly inspiring for all of us at ATC when we can produce the work of provocative, acclaimed new American voices on our stages and have them create dialogue in the community, as with last season’s by Bruce Norris, or the previous season’s by John Logan. I hope that you will findThe Mountaintop to be a play that not only keeps you enthralled in the theatre, but will give you something to chew over and discuss.

The Mountaintop brings a constellation of ATC favorites back to collaborate with us. As you read their biographies in this program, I feel certain that you will agree that these artists have created some of the most memorable and impactful work that ATC has produced during my tenure as Artistic Director. Lou Bellamy, the director, is one of our favorites and a great man of the theatre. If you would like to get a more personal view of Lou, I invite you to view the report about him that was aired on NBC’s Rock Center and can be accessed at http://rockcenter.nbcnews.com/_news/2011/12/26/9725509-on-the-road-with-director-lou-bellamy?lite

At the stirring 50th Anniversary gatherings that marked Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech this past August, we were reminded of the history of that dream and about the ongoing pursuit of its ideals. In The Mountaintop, Katori Hall reminds us that for all the statues and monuments that honor Dr. King, he was a very real and complicated human being struggling like all of us to make sense of the next step in front of us as we journey through life.

About the Play

The Man behind the Myth “This isn’t the “I Have a Dream” King. This is King the man, not the myth. I want people to see that this extraordinary man, who is actually quite ordinary, achieved something so great that he actually created a funda- mental shift in how we as a people interact with each other. That’s a beautiful thing. And I want people in the audience to be like, ‘If this man, who was so…so much a human being can achieve such great things then I as this, you know, complicated human being, can create great things too.’” – Katori Hall As playwright Katori Hall states, The Mountaintop invites us to see the man behind the legend that led the United States through the treacherous landscape of the Civil Rights Movement, and introduces us to Martin Luther King, Jr.: the father, the husband, the leader, and the man, with his own doubts and fears that lie beneath the surface of the great American icon. Simultaneously, Hall interweaves a personal story of her past, of her mother and grandmother in Memphis in 1968 who had looked forward to hearing Dr. King speak at the Sanitation Workers Strike. Persuaded to stay Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. home by threats of potential bombings, missing Dr. King’s “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech became a lifelong regret for Hall’s mother, Carrie Mae. Here, Carrie Mae becomes the hotel maid that shares King’s final hours, as Katori Hall gives her mother the encounter with Dr. King that she never had in real life.

Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Bishop Julian Smith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Reverend Ralph Abernathy March 28, 1968, during a civil rights march in Memphis, Tennessee.

About the Play

In the speech that Dr. King delivered that day in Memphis, King relates himself to Moses leading his people to the Promised Land, now closer than ever before, and asserts that while they may not arrive together, he is grateful to have journeyed thus far. His words today carry with them the ring of prophesy, history unveiling for us the events following his speech, yet unknown as he spoke those fateful words.

The Strike On February 1, 1968, two sanitation workers were killed by a malfunction- ing garbage truck, prompting nearly two weeks of struggle between the city of Memphis and its sanitation workers to settle safety and wage concerns, and culminating in a city-wide strike. The next two months saw an escalation of protests, from sit-ins to demonstrations, as the sanitation workers and supporters were challenged by the Memphis police and Mayor Henry Loeb. On March 28, Dr. King led a peaceful protest march through the city that was halted with extreme violence and police brutality, resulting in the death of 16-year-old protester, Larry Payne. King returned on April 3 and led the march through Memphis, delivering his famous “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” at the Mason Temple, the headquarters of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. the Church of God in Christ. Delivering his “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial. Dr. King was assassinated the following evening on his balcony at the Lorraine Motel. Four days later his widow, Coretta Scott King, led a silent crowd of more than 40,000 supporters on a memorial march through the streets of Memphis in support of the Sanitation Workers Strike. An agree- ment was reached, ending the strike, the following week.

11 Founded in 1977 The Stonewall Foundation has been supporting non-profit organizations in the Tucson community for over 30 years. The Stonewall Foundation is unique in that it was established to solely support 16 pre-named organizations, in the areas of arts, health, and education. The Small family who started The Foundation chose causes that were near and dear to their hearts with the intent to provide ongoing operational support for programs or projects that were challenging for the organizations to fund. Arizona Theatre Company is one of the original ten organizations and has been awarded invaluable support from The Stonewall Foundation for decades. They have been a faithful supporter of riveting productions and edu- cational outreach programs. Last season the Foundation supported Next to Normal, the groundbreaking and award-winning musical exploring how one family deals with mental illness. Subsequently, ATC invited several Stonewall Foundation partners to help create community engagement activities around the production of Next to Normal focused on awareness and education of mental illness and community resources available. ATC thanks The Stonewall Foundation this season for its generous sponsorship of The Mountaintop. The Foundation has always been willing to work with ATC to create the best partnership opportunities possible.

Theater brings us into a world of the past, the present and the future all at the same time and in the same place. It introduces us to themes and thought we may not frequent regularly. It shows us a world of imagination and possibility and makes us a better and more cohesive community for supporting a true community treasure. About Arizona Theatre company

Penumbra Theatre Company (Co-Producer) was founded in 1976 by Lou Bellamy to make socially responsible art – art that demanded a response, art with intent, art that could create change. At a time when roles for black artists were limited to stereo- types and comical representations, Penumbra produced theatre that roared with authenticity through the unrestrained and rich voice of black artists and playwrights. This respect for cultural authenticity became Penumbra’s signature style – and demand for it has reached new heights from theatres around the country fostering collaborations, new productions, tours and awards. In 2006, Penumbra’s first national tour was co-produced with Trinity Repertory Company in the staging ofGrandchildren of the Buffalo Soldiers. Since then Mr. Bellamy and Penumbra have journeyed with Round House Theatre in Bethesda, Maryland, The Kennedy Center in Washington DC, Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon, The Cleveland Play House in Cleveland, Ohio, and Kansas City Repertory Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri. This season, Penumbra joins forces with Arizona Theatre Company, Blumenthal Performing Arts in Charlotte, North Carolina, and The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
