THE FACE OF EMMETT TILL Play at CCT

November 7 – 16, 2025

Caribbean Community Theatre opens its 41^st season with THE FACE OF EMMETT TILL – a play by Mamie Till-Mobley and David Barr III. There are six performances over two weekends of this play at CCT: November 7, 8 & 9 and 14, 15 & 16, 2025, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, and Sunday matinees at 4 PM.

Lionel C. Downer directs the cast of Michael Baker, Will Cooper, Paul Del Rio, Charles Fox, Sheelene Gumbs, Tom Guthrie, Shakir Guzman, Wanson Harris, Dalmari Holder, Paul Knipler, Krissy McKown, Shanell Petersen Spencer, Sherri Poree, David Pugh, Kelly Pugh, Tydus Queiroz, Robert Reffell, Patricia Scott, and Kelvin L. Vidale.

This play is a true-to-life dramatization of the death of 14-year-old Emmett Till, a Chicago teenager who, while visiting relatives in Money, Mississippi in August 1955, was kidnapped, tortured and murdered by white men who claimed they wanted to teach him a lesson for “allegedly” whistling at a local white woman. The horror and brutality of this crime were magnified even more when his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, made the fateful decision to invite the media to the funeral where she had an open casket. The shocking pictures were published by the American Black Press and later republished around the world. The ramifications of this act are still being felt today. The play chronicles this tragedy, its aftermath, and Mamie Till-Mobley’s heroic crusade for justice. This “hate crime changed America” and sparked the civil rights movement.

General admission tickets may be purchased in advance online at Eventbrite.
