The Diary of Anne Frank at Birmingham Village Players

The Diary of Anne Frank has a message the world needs to hear. The cast and crew of Birmingham Village Players (BVP) production hope everyone will listen.

The Diary of Anne Frank was created using excerpts from Anne Frank’s diary that detail the two years she and her family spent in hiding from the Nazis during World War II. Village Players is presenting Wendy Kesselman’s recent adaptation of the original play. This adaptation restores deleted content, emphasizes Jewish identity and the antisemitism of the time. Anne is depicted more realistically, more complex than the previous version. It will run March 6-22, 2026.
