‘THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK’ FEATURING A MOSTLY LATINX CAST

Based on the posthumously published diary of the young German girl who lived in hiding in Amsterdam with her family in World War II, “The Diary of Anne Frank” premiered on Broadway in 1955 and received the Tony Award for Best Play as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Directed by Stan Zimmerman (“Right Before I Go.”), the production at The Goldrich was originally staged in 2018 and is based on a 1997 version of the play by Wendy Kesselman that incorporates newly discovered writing in the diary. Zimmerman conceived his interpretation of “The Diary of Anne Frank” after seeing a CNN report about a Jewish woman in L.A. who signed an apartment lease as a cover for an immigrant mother and her two high school-aged daughters after their father was deported by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Each performance will be followed by a brief Talk Back featuring 95-year-old Holocaust survivor Gabriella Karin.
