The Diary of Anne Frank at Birmingham Village Players

Wendy Kesselman's gripping new adaptation of The Diary of Anne Frank, a play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett based upon Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, will be presented March 6-22, 2026. The Diary of Anne Frank depicts the deprivation faced by eight people hiding from the Nazis during World War II, while it shines a light on Anne’s indomitable spirit and her desire for a better world. By weaving in survivor accounts and recently discovered writings from Anne’s diary, Kesselman’s adaptation introduces a new generation to the atrocities of Nazi Germany. This riveting reimagining of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning original stage play will be directed by Michael A. Gravame. The Diary of Anne Frank (Kesselman) is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection (www.dramatists.com).
