Panel Discussion: The Man Behind the Movement: The Humanity of Faith, Power, and Vulnerability in Public Leadership

MONDAY, MARCH 16

THE MOUNTAINTOP imagines the final night of Martin Luther King Jr. at the Lorraine Motel, blending historical reality with speculative and spiritual elements. The play complicates our understanding of leadership by presenting King not as a monument, but as a man—tired, flawed, funny, afraid, faithful. This panel will take a deeper look at Dr. Martin Luther King, the man.

The panel discussion is free to attend. Please RSVP by contacting the Box Office: 860-523-5900 Ext. 10 or BoxOffice@PlayhouseTheatreGroup.org
