Equity actors for roles in THE MOUNTAINTOP by Katori Hall.
Understudies will be cast for each role.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Black, Male, 35 - 45) - MLK at the time was 39. Nobel Peace Prize-winning Civil Rights Movement leader. Awe-inspiring, charming, and powerful with a brooding intelligence and almost hidden vulnerability. He can sometimes present as older than his true age. While being a brilliant orator, impassioned preacher, and a fearless leader, he is more than the hero in our history books. Brewing underneath is a human carrying all the vulnerability, fear, and weariness of an unquenchable lust for life.
Camae (Pre-Cast) - (Black, Female, 20 - 30) - A young maid at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. She is charming, confident and MLK’s equal. And although deeply human and vulnerable, there is much more to her than is first revealed. She owns the power of her convictions and sensuality, with an “otherworldly” strength. Carries a secret.
Auditions will consist of sides from the script. Audition sides can be found at
