Playhouse on Park Presents THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
By: Julie Musbach

The Diary of Anne Frank, by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hacke (based upon "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl", newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman), is the next show in Playhouse on Park's Main Stage series, running from October 25-November 19.
Directed by Ezra Banks, his gripping adaptation weaves together newly discovered writings from the diary of Anne Frank with survivor accounts to create a contemporary, impassioned story of the lives of people persecuted under Nazi rule. The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence - their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief. Each day of these two dark years, Anne's voice shines through: "When 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 I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!"Previews for The Diary of Anne Frank are October 25 and 26. All preview seats are only $17.50! Opening night is Friday, October 27 at 8pm, with a wine and cheese reception beforehand. Each Sunday matinee features a talkback with the cast after the show.
This show offers a specially priced Tuesday matinee on Tuesday, November 7 at 2:00pm. All seats for this performance are only $22.50 per person, reserved seating.
Individual tickets are now on sale, ranging from $25 to $40, all seats reserved. Seniors, Students, and Let's Go Arts Member discounts are available. Additionally, Season Nine Mainstage Subscriptions are still available, with a 20% savings over individual tickets.
