By Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett
Newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman
Directed by Christy Montour-Larson

 

Underwritten by The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation and Dr. and Mrs. Richard A. Patt

Thirteen-year-old Anne Frank wrote to understand herself and the horrors of being Jewish in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. In doing so she created one of the most powerful stories of the 20th century. Her diary was the one place for privacy in her attic hiding place. It holds her fears, her hopes, her laughter, her grief. Her belief that “in spite of everything, people are truly good at heart” has moved readers for more than seventy years. In Wendy Kesselman’s adaptation we meet the full Anne; imperfect, funny, longing to become a woman and hopeful for a future she will never see.
