Our production of The Mountaintop at Mile Square Theatre in Hoboken, NJ, has received an AUDELCO Award nomination for Best Revival! Congratulations to the Jamil A.C. Mangan and the entire cast and crew on this nomination!!!

AN AUDELCO AWARD NOMINATION FOR BEST REVIVAL!

Thrilled to share that our production of The Mountaintop at Mile Square Theatre in Hoboken, NJ, has received an AUDELCO Award nomination for Best Revival!

Written by the brilliant Katori Hall, this play has always held a special place in my heart. Having portrayed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. onstage myself, stepping into the director’s chair gave me an entirely different opportunity to explore the man behind the icon. His humanity, humor, vulnerability, and the weight of knowing that tomorrow is never promised.

A huge congratulations to our incredible cast, Hassiem Muhammad (Dr. King) and Kendra Holloway (Camae), along with Petra Hinds, our Camae understudy. Thank you for your trust, courage, and willingness to dig into the work.

I’m equally grateful to our designers, stage management, crew, and everyone at Mile Square Theatre who helped bring this production to life.

Directing is never a solo endeavor. The work belongs to everyone who helped build it, question it, challenge it, and ultimately share it with an audience.

Thank you to AUDELCO for recognizing our work and continuing to celebrate the contributions of Black theatre artists.

Congratulations to the entire Mountaintop family!
