🎭 The Diary of Anne Frank
By Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett
Presenter: Spotlight Acting School (SAS)

📖 In this transcendent true story, Anne Frank’s diary comes to life as a powerful testament to the human spirit. During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, 13-year-old Anne Frank and her family are forced into hiding in the sealed-off upper rooms of an Amsterdam warehouse. Over the next two years, Anne vividly describes their confinement, the daily threats of discovery, and her hopes, fears, and dreams in her diary.

This compelling dramatization, crafted by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence while showcasing the power of hope even in humanity’s darkest hour. Performed by our exceptional 14-18 year old actors, whose college-level artistry brings profound depth and maturity to this challenging material, this production promises a moving and thought-provoking theatrical experience.
