Two stories. One encounter. A shared quest for justice.
A resounding success returns! Thank you, Orlando, for an incredible January run. Due to overwhelming demand, we are thrilled to announce two special encore performances of Anne & Emmett.
What would happen if Anne Frank and Emmett Till met in a place beyond time? In this stirring and timely production, two of history’s most poignant voices come together to compare their experiences and challenge us to build a more just world.
Our January premiere reached hundreds and sparked vital conversations across our community. To continue this mission, we are bringing Anne & Emmett back to the stage this spring for a limited encore engagement.
Content is mature and includes references to violence, racism, and religious persecution.
Special Encore Schedule:
Student Matinee: We are proud to provide a private, free performance for selected students at East Ridge High School. This performance is part of our commitment to educational outreach, ensuring the next generation engages with this essential history.
Public Performance: Join us for our final public encore! This is your last chance to experience the production that everyone is talking about.
Date: Thursday, April 16th, 7:00 pm
Location: East Ridge High School 13322 Excalibur Rd. Clermont, FL. 34711
