CORRECTED UPDATED SCHEDULE FOR THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
IN CONJUNCTION WITH MIDDFEST INTERNATIONAL
A
professionally staged production of The Diary of Anne
Frank
will be presented several times at various locations in southwestern
Ohio
prior to, during and after the Middfest International cultural festival.
Directed by award-winning actress and director Christine
Brunner,
the cast presents the more mature telling of the story of the young Jewish girl
and her family’s plight during World War II.
The
show includes an accompanying study guide, available in September free for
groups and classes. The cast and crew will appear immediately following each
production for a discussion period.
This
show is recommended for 7th grade audiences and up, and for adults of
all ages who will be astonished at the perseverance of heart and goodness that
one young heroine showed during one of the most inhumane, unimaginable and
darkest times in our world’s history. The show includes dark images, references
to female puberty, and disturbing moments of Anne and her family being captured
by the Nazis, as well as a description about the conditions of the prisoners in
the concentration camps.
Middfest International is a
weekend event celebrating The Netherlands on Oct 5-6-7, 2007 at
One
Donham
