  3. The Mountaintop


Its late night on April 3, 1968 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN. A storm rages outside of room 306 where two strangers, an active civil rights leader and a mysterious, newly employed housekeeper, are having intimate conversations. They chat about shared experiences of growing up in America. They talk about love and how messy and complicated it can be. They circle around the idea of death and how sudden and unfair it is. Its just a typical conversation between two people with shared human experiences - only the civil rights leader is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and its the eve of his assassination. Katori Halls fictional retelling of what went on in the hotel room before that fateful morning received the 2010 Olivier Award for Best Play with the 2011 Broadway production starring the talents of Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett. *This show contains adult language and references to racial violence.

Tipping Point Theatre Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Tipping Point Theatre is at 361 E. Cady Street, Northville, MI.

The Tipping Point is that one dramatic moment in an epidemic when everything can change all at once…and we’ve reached it in a BIG way! From operating as a “vagabond” theatre company under the umbrella of the Parks and Recreation department, performing in any empty space we could get our hands on and paying actors with smiles and applause – we opened in 2007 with big changes – tipping point changes! Incorporated as a professional, non-profit 501(c)3 organization in the state of Michigan, Tipping Point Theatre opened its doors as a professional Equity theatre company in our permanent facility in downtown Northville. TPT is currently under the direction of James R. Kuhl and led by Board President Nannette Ret. Join us in fulfilling our mission by continued participation as an audience member, actor, designer, donor and advocate for theatre in Michigan. Looking forward to seeing you “at the Point!”
