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 Plaza in downtown Middletown. The weekend includes many performances, exhibits, music, food, literature, history and more from the featured country.
