SOLD OUT – If you missed Something Moving, the Alliance Theatre invites you to join them for The Mountaintop.
“Good plays are always in conversation with the audience, but they are also in conversation with other plays. In the case of Something Moving and The Mountaintop, by Katori Hall, we were independently moved by the lives of two of Atlanta’s most famous native sons, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Maynard Jackson, focusing on each man’s greatness without ignoring their humanity.” – Pearl Cleage, Playwright

By Pearl Cleage
Directed by David Koté
Award-winning author and playwright Pearl Cleage explores the election of Maynard Jackson, Atlanta’s first African American mayor, from the vantage point of an artist and an insider – Cleage served as Jackson’s press secretary during his campaign and followed him into City Hall for two years as Director of Communications. By choosing to tell the story of this 1973 landmark election, Cleage creates a cast of characters drawn from her own participation in this transformative moment in the city’s history. By looking back, Cleage invites reflection on the meaning of leadership and the kind of future that is desired.
