Waterwell Announces The/King/Operetta

Waterwell is proud to announce that it's 10th drop, The Last Year in the Life of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as Devised by Waterwell: A Rock Operetta opens at the Barrow Street Theater on June 21st for a limited engagement.

Off the heels of our Drama Desk nomination for last summer's Marco Millions and The Persians… comes an all new theatrical event about one of America's most loved and misunderstood figures. Featuring an exuberant score of hard edged rock, blues and funk, The/King/Operetta draws on speeches, writings and interviews to give a blistering account of King as he barnstorms the country squaring off against the most powerful forces in politics and commerce. Facing criticism on all sides and even doubts from his closest advisors, he speaks his mind fearlessly and fights to the end against war, poverty, even his own government.
