Actress Carrie Coon, a Copley native who graduated from University of Mount Union, will be part of a panel discussion that starts at 7 p.m. at the museum. Coon also will appear Sept. 8 at Canton’s Palace Theatre for an event.
Coon was nominated for a 2024 Primetime Emmy award for her role as Bertha Russell in HBO’s “The Gilded Age.”
