Experience this transformational stage play! The Lorraine is a story about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his impact on the city of Memphis and some of the most influential musical artists of the 1960s. Though many people are familiar with the Lorraine Motel and its connection to that tragic day of April 4, 1968, its history has been overshadowed. The Lorraine Motel was a Green Book Motel and was designated as a safe place for African American travelers to stay while in Memphis. It was also centrally located to Stax Records. Notable artists such as Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, and Johnny Taylor frequented there and if you were an African American artist the likes of Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, or a host of others visiting the Memphis music scene, you likely stayed there. 

This is a redemptive story, bringing to light the value and resilience of the people who changed the world through struggle and perseverance for civil rights.
