The Diary of Anne Frank playing at the Oak Ridge Playhouse

For nearly two years, a young Jewish girl, her parents, and sister hid with another family in a secret attic space, as the Nazis deported the Jews of Holland to their deaths. Anne Frank’s luminous spirit shines through in the real-life diary she kept while in seclusion, allowing us to share in the complexities of adolescence – laughing and playing, fighting with her mother, falling in love for the first time – as she comes of age. Transcending the oppressive circumstances and horrors that surround her, she voices her belief, “in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” Her story of resilience continues to resonate deeply, making her story as vital today as when her diary first was published.
