\nOut of the Holocaust ashes came many heroic stories of both Christians and Jews, but none more captivating than that written by a charming visionary\u2014a sparkling Jewish girl named Anne Frank. <\/p>\n


\nBy the age of 13, Anne knew that she wanted to be a writer and she wrote of her experience with her family and four other Jews hiding from the Nazis for some two years in a claustrophobic \u201csecret annex\u201d in Amsterdam. She wrote of daily life, her adolescent conflicts with her mother, her deep bond with her father and of her first love, Peter. In addition, Anne wrote of her future hopes, fears and aspirations.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWhen I write I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I\u2019ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death\u201d Anne wrote. (The Diary of Anne Frank). And so she has.<\/p>\n


\nAnne Frank: Diary of A Young Girl was first published in 1947. Since that time, it has been translated into more than 67 languages and has sold more than 31 million copies. <\/p>\n


\nIts original dramatization, The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett was first produced on Broadway in 1955. Forty-two years later, Wendy Kesselman\u2019s adaptation of the Goodrich-Hackett play included new material and was also produced to acclaim on Broadway. 溏心vlog免费B站 is presenting this version of the play.<\/p>\n


\n溏心vlog免费B站 Theatre\u2019s The Diary of Anne Frank is directed by Assistant Professor of Theatre Bryna Wortman; scenic design by William Wieters; costume design by 溏心vlog免费B站 Theatre Alumna Elizabeth Gotaucco; lighting design by 溏心vlog免费B站 Theatre Alumna Darlene Viloria and sound design by Peter Nabut. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cAs we attempt to fathom such events as The Holocaust, as well as more recent genocides in Bosnia, Rwanda and The Sudan, The Diary of Anne Frank continues to strike a chord among young and old alike with its extraordinary humanity,\u201d says Wortman.<\/p>\n
