The Center for the Arts continues its 25th season with The Diary of Anne Frank. The production opens on Friday, March 6 and runs through Sunday, March 15. Join us for this dramatic telling of how Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis in an attic for over two years.
âThe Diary of Anne Frank is unique in that the show gives us an insight into the mind and world of a young Jewish girl who came of age during WWII,â says director Alex Warren DeHoff. âShe lived under extreme tension and fear but remained hopeful that the world would change and that people are good underneath all of the outward portrayal of hate and discrimination.â
In this transcendently powerful retelling of the literary classic, Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existenceâtheir fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief. Each day of these two dark years, Anneâs voice shines through: âWhen I write I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those Iâve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!â
The production of The Diary of Anne Frank at the Center for the Arts is directed by Alex Warren DeHoff.
The Diary of Anne Frank is generously sponsored by Dr. Roy Thompson.
