Ira Knight Presents:
From Myth To Man: Martin Luther King, An Interpretation
An original one-man play

ABOUT "FROM MYTH TO MAN”
An original and thought-provoking interpretation of the many complex human sides of Martin Luther King, Jr. This is not an impersonation, imitation or mimicking of Dr. King, but an inspiring presentation of him as an authentic human being — father, husband and friend. Experience the connection of all generations to the humanity, legacy and mission of the civil and human rights leader. A presentation that Dr. King, himself, would respect.

***Audience talkback follows each performance (with playwright and actor).
Written, produced and directed by Ira Knight.
