Shakespeare Theatre of NJ Offers Student Tickets to THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, Running 10/14-11/21

By:

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey will offer special $20 advance-purchase student tickets for its production of The Diary of Anne Frank, written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, and adapted by Wendy Kesselman.

Performances of this Pulitzer, Tony, and Outer Critic's Circle Award-winning play, directed by Joseph Discher, begin Wednesday, October 14th and continue through Saturday, November 21st at the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre, 36 Madison Avenue (at Lancaster Road) in Madison.

Individual tickets and subscriptions can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 973-408-5600 or by visiting ShakespeareNJ.org. Regular tickets are available for as low as $25 for previews and $32 for regular performances.

In an effort to reach as many young people and families as possible -- for the first time -- these discount $20 student tickets may be purchased in advance online, at the box office or by calling 973-408-5600. The Diary of Anne Frank runs select Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays at 7:30 PM and Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:00 PM, with a 2:00 PM matinee on select Saturday and Sunday afternoons. $15 student rush tickets may still be purchased one half-hour before the show in person at the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre, but availability may be limited.

Nearly 75 years ago, a young girl named Anne Frank received a blank diary for her 13th birthday. Today, the humor, strength, and innate goodness of Anne Frank continue to shine forth from her words --inspiring readers and audiences of all ages. In her adaptation, Wendy Kesselman restored more of the original content of Anne Frank's diary, including references to Judaism and instances exemplifying Anne's behavior as a teenager as well as her frustrations with her sister and mother. This unforgettable and powerful story will come to life for a new generation this fall.

The extended run of The Diary of Anne Frank also features numerous school-time matinees for school groups. Tickets for school-time performances are $17. For information about school-time performances, call 973-408-3983 or email aromero@shakespearenj.org.

The acclaimed Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey is an independent, professional theatre company located on the Drew University campus. The Outdoor Stage is located on the campus of the College of St. Elizabeth and the Theatre's support and education facility is in Florham Park.
