About The Guide
The typography of the guide is also a guide for entertainment enjoyment. It’s a mix between reading a stage script and prose literature. Assorted sections include lines of dialogue as they look in the script in Courier New typeface the actors see. Such as:
THE SCRIPT

CORETTA ”I saw a movie once. About a young couple. There was a line they kept saying… ‘Love means never having to say you’re sorry.’ Remember?”
Followed by biographical or historical commentary in another typeface. There are also still photos used as background in the multimedia stage performance and as part of the video narrative. For further research, we have included links to pertinent websites or documents. For fun, we have linked videos to music alluded to in the script.
Most importantly are the questions for study or discussion.
Some questions are part of the interactive moments that occur in the script where “Rev. and Mrs. King” mingle with the audience and improvise with the answers in the moment. Other questions are for personal reflection or group conversation. A significant element of the study guide are the scripture verses included with corresponding links. These verses are quoted or alluded to in the show.
We include them for two reasons:
1. Our motto is “The best script is Scripture.”
Thus, with each piece we create, it’s imperative to make certain the story is guided by The Word of God as it relates to the events in the piece and daily life.
2. Martin Luther King was a Baptist preacher whose work was informed and guided by his belief in Jesus Christ. Because he is most often referred to as Dr. Martin Luther King, and because even today many people who claim the title “Reverend” don’t have a notable affiliation with a Christian church, the role of Christ is not easily discernible. We include scripture to make it clear that
Martin Luther King was a follower of Jesus Christ, even though he included the methods of other non-violent leaders of history.
