About Black Spectrum Theatre Co. Inc. 39 Steps
✊🏽 39 STEPS TOWARD FREEDOM
Written by Michael Green
Presented by Black Spectrum Theatre Co., Inc.
A week before his tragic assassination, a weary and humiliated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. returns home, burdened by the struggles of leadership and the weight of a movement. In a deep sleep, he begins to dream — a powerful, haunting journey through the 39 steps of his life, from childhood to the historic fight for justice that changed a nation.
Through this moving and imaginative production, audiences are taken inside the heart and mind of a man who inspired millions, exploring his fears, faith, and ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
Join us for a stirring theatrical experience that honors the legacy, humanity, and courage of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — a timely reflection on the cost of freedom and the dream that still lives on.

Writer, producer, filmmaker, and visionary Carl Clay founded Black Spectrum Theatre in 1970 to provide the community with African-American cultural expression through contemporary theater and film. To this end, we produce and present theatre, films, and videos examining issues of social significance to the African-American community. At our 325-seat state-of-art theatre, we serve more than 20,000 audience members annually—and we reach many thousands more through our nationally distributed films for urban teens series, mobile stage, and school residency programs. Based in Jamaica, NY, Black Spectrum is the only professional theatre company reaching out to people of African descent in the area. Our programs for children and youth include our Youth and Children's Theatre Company, Summer Theatre Camp, Children's and Youth Theatre Institute, and E-CAP After School Program.
