Redford Teen to Bring Historical Figure to Life in New Adaptation of THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK at Paul's Players, 11/13-15
Paul's Players will present a powerful new dramatic adaptation of THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, an original play by Wendy Kesselman. In this play, Anne Frank emerges from history as a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. The show will be performed November 13 & 14, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. and November 15, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. All performances will be held at St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, 27475 Five Mile Road, Livonia, 48154.
THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK captures the claustrophobic realities of the lives of eight people, hiding from the Nazi's in a storage attic for two years. Anne Frank's voice of hope shines through the production, even in the darkest of times. Sarah Borsodi, a freshman at Thurston High School in Redford, has taken on this challenging role and brings Anne to life on stage. The cast also includes: Nicholas Asciutto (Farmington Hills); Rebecca Borsodi (Redford); Katherine O'Donnell, Sue Krekeler, Kirk Krekeler, Michael Kain, Pam Gunderson, Keith Schooley, and Phil Sattler (all from Livonia).
Tickets are $10 for Adults and $8 for Seniors. They may be purchased at paulsplayers.com, or by calling 248-347-4134. Paul's Players is offering special ticket pricing of $5 to students (18 and under) at any of the three productions.
Paul's Players is a community theater group based in Livonia, Michigan, and housed in St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, 27475 Five Mile Road. The group was founded in 2011 by Patricia Hutchison, a retired Livonia Public School music and drama teacher.
