“The Diary of Anne Frank”
Written by: Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett
Winter Show: February 28 & 29, March 1, 6, 7 & 8
The Diary of Anne Frank is the Pulitzer Prize winning play adapted from Anne Frank’s famous diary. The play recounts the true story of a young, ever energetic Jewish girl and her family and friends as they hid for two years during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam.
Otto Frank gave his daughter a diary when she was 13 years old, shortly before she and her family went into hiding in the annex of an Amsterdam office building. From that time until Anne was almost 16, she wrote about her life in hiding, her feelings about her parents, her hopes and fears for the future, her innermost thoughts. Eight people, all Jews, hid from the Nazis for two years, never leaving the annex, never knowing if they would be discovered and sent to the death camps.
Please join us to experience anew the joys and fears of their lives together in that tiny attic during World War II. You won’t want to miss this beautiful and touching play that speaks to the power of hope and love.
