Grambling State University Theatre to present The Mountaintop by Katori Hall on February 23-26, 2016 at the Floyd L. Sandle Theatre, located in the Conrad Hutchinson Performing Arts Center.

In honor of Black History Month, Grambling State University’s Theatre will be performing the Olivier Award-winning play, The Mountaintop by Katori Hall. A frequent visitor to Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN, Dr. King is visited by the new housekeeper (Camae), who not only serves him fresh coffee, but his “papers” to eternal life. Hall’s mystical envisions are mixed with truths of the night before King’s infamous assignation. “You in a relay race, albeit the fastest runner we done ever seen’t. But you ’bout to burn out, superstar. You gone need to pass off that baton.” ~ Camae

Norman, the production staff consists of David Kaul as set and light designer, Teisha Lincoln as Costume Supervisor and Ja’Keem Smith as Costume Designer, Cam Conerly as Sound Designer, Dawn Clements and Ibraheem Farmer as Prop Masters and Quintara Johnson as Production Stage Manager.
