The Last Year in the Life of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Rock Operetta July 23, 2008

CityParks Theater presents: The Last Year in the Life of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Rock Operetta.

Taking inspiration from the legendary speeches, interviews, and private notes of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the obscured history of his last days shine with new meaning in this powerful performance. The Last Year in the Life..., directed by Tom Ridgley, succeeds by adding new texture to the untold King history with soulful songs, pithy readings, and stunning performances that will rouse and inspire. Although Dr. King was known as a pacifist, this stunning re-enactment reveals the intensity and fiery determination behind the quiet storm that was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
