Drama
A young girl dares to dream...
by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hacket
Based upon Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl
adapted by Wendy Kesselman
About the Show:
Open Stage presents its 24rd annual production of the highly acclaimed, award-winning play. One of the most famous and haunting stories to emerge from the 20th Century, the memoirs of a young Jewish girl, forced to hide for nearly two years to escape Nazi persecution, are an essential part of how we remember one of the darkest periods of our human history.
This adaptation draws from previously unpublished parts of Anne Frank’s real-life diary, allowing the audience to experience Anne in a way that breathes life into this passionate, complex young woman. For nearly two years, Anne, her father, mother, and sister, joined with the Van Daan family to hide in a secret annex space above her father’s former office in Amsterdam, as the Nazis deported Dutch Jews to their deaths.
In spite of her oppressive circumstances and the horrors that surround her, Anne’s spirit transcends, as she voices her belief, “in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”
Content note: Recommended for ages 10+ for difficult themes. No children under 6 admitted.
