Janet Langhart Cohen’s Anne & Emmett – A One-Act Play – Matinee Performance
July 26, 2026 - July 26, 2026; 3:00 pm - 3:00 pm
The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center, in partnership with Langhart Communications, proudly presents Anne & Emmett, a powerful one-act play written by acclaimed journalist, author, and playwright Janet Langhart Cohen.
This moving production imagines a conversation between Anne Frank, the young Jewish diarist whose life was cut short during the Holocaust, and Emmett Till, the 14-year-old African American boy whose 1955 murder became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. Through their dialogue, Anne & Emmett explores themes of prejudice, injustice, courage, and hope while highlighting the enduring impact of their stories on generations around the world.
Performances will be held at The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center, located at 740 E. 56th Place, Chicago, IL.
