Prepare to have your heart pretty much explode with emotion when you see Shakespeare in Action’s stage rendition of the famous WW2 diary.

March 16- She Does The City

Her diary is her legacy – a beautifully tragic account of this horrendous time relived on stage done artistically, tastefully, a gem.

March 17- Mooney On Theatre

As Anne, Sascha Cole was 13 at the beginning of the play and was flighty, energetic, careening around the apartment and always in everybody’s way. But she matured and it was interesting to watch Cole just take those moments and make them a whole person, maturing, growing up.

March 17- Lynn Slotkin and the Slotkin Letter

Michael Kelly’s [rendition] of The Diary of Anne Frank will twist your stomach into knots and take away your ability to breathe. Together, the cast, director and designer succeed in creating the world of Anne Frank’s annex- one that’s rich and complicated and, most horrifyingly, full of very real people.

Good morning, readers!

I thought that I would share a photo with you that I took yesterday of our stage for The Diary of Anne Frank inside of the Al Green Theatre. Even though this production is a remount, it looks like the set was made for this stage!

A big congratulations to the cast and crew of The Diary of Anne Frank for a superb opening night last night!
Tickets can still be purchased here for upcoming performances, but hurry, they are selling fast!
