The Indianapolis Black Theater Company is set to open “The Mountaintop” at the District Theater on Sept. 18. It’s a two-person play, offering an unconventional look at the final day of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life.

The play, which runs through Sept. 28, features Daniel A. Martin as Dr. King and Dija Renuka as Camae, a character inspired by playwright Katori Hall’s mother.

The two actors will carry the narrative for 95 minutes each night.

Renuka and Martin visited WISH-TV’s Daybreak on the morning after America’s latest act of political violence, the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

Martin says the play underscores the ongoing need for leadership and change, themes central to Dr. King’s legacy. “We were in need of a Dr. King as much then as we do now,” Martin noted. “So the political violence that took place yesterday is horrible. Yeah, we need new leaders. We need people to stand up for us all.”

“But it’s entertaining the entire time,” Martin said. “It’s a fun show. You’re going to love it.”
