Jobs in Acting for "The Diary of Anne Frank" Play
The company is conducting auditions for the play "The Diary of Anne Frank" and seeking actors, please see the details below About the project: In this undeniably moving new adaptation, Anne Frank emerges from history, a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. The play takes place in the rooms of the secret annex, rooms attached to her father’s office building in Amsterdam, Holland, during the years of World War II, 1942-1944. Anne’s diary remains a primary source of the perspective of a Jewish girl in hiding from the Nazis, during World War II. Anne’s family, the Van Daan family, and Mr. Dussel hide from the outside world, only aided by Miep and Kraler who give them news, food and medicine.
