Avalon Productions is presenting The Diary of Anne Frank adapted by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett

With a cast of ten regional actors, led by Lucy Wilson, this live experience is one you won't want to miss. Tim Allen [Mr. Kraler], Jim Arter [Mr. Van Daan], Paula Arter [Mrs. Van Daan], Sammi Berniger [Miep], Randy Benge [Otto Frank], Bronson Buck [Peter], Kenzi Jackson [Margot Frank], Thomas Smith [Mr. Dussel], and Susan Bunsold-Wilson [Edith Frank] round out the cast.

Based on the real-life writings of a young Jewish girl during World War II, The Diary of Anne Frank offers an intimate portrayal of a family forced into hiding to escape Nazi persecution. For nearly two years, Anne Frank, along with her parents, sister, and the Van Daan family, lived in a concealed annex above her father's former office in Amsterdam, as countless others were deported to concentration camps.
