Previewing 'The Mountaintop' And The Lyric Repertory Company Season On Thursday's Access Utah

Lyric Repertory Company

The Mountaintop by Katori Hall is a gripping two-person drama about the last day of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  In the play, King is alone in his hotel room when he is joined by Camae, a maid who works for the Lorraine Motel. What follows is a reflective, often funny, often touching conversation in which Dr. King examines his achievements, his failures, and his unfinished dreams.

On Thursday’s Access Utah we’ll welcome Kevin Thorne, II, and Sage Fortune, who are performing in this production, and director Eric Ruffin. We’ll also preview the other works in the upcoming season from the Lyric Repertory Company in Logan.
