The Ballad of Emmett Till
By Tom Williams | May 9
"The Ballad of Emmett Till" contains enough drama to be worthy theater; but it needs work, such as a clearer ending. A story of the importance of Emmett Till in the history of the Civil Rights movement needs to be tighter and more complete.

Chanting "Rain, rain, go away. Come again some other day" didn’t seem to help. The space is available indoors, but do you pull out your pots and pans and begin warming up the oven or remember that you recently purchased that Ikon indoor grill?
