"The Diary of Anne Frank" Audition for the Theater

Fairly quiet, obedient, friendly, and intelligent. Though overwhelmed by the trials of hiding, she often plays the role of peacemaker, and is overall admirable.

Father of Anne and Margot and head of the group, he is a wise man and is fair, loyal, attentive, patient, intelligent, level-headed, genuinely likes people, and beloved by those who protected him and by his family as well as the other tenants of the Annex.

Wife to Otto and mother of Anne and Margot, she is loving, moral, concerned, gracious, cultured, devoted to tradition, tries hard to accommodate the lower middle-class van Daan family whose uncouth and argumentative ways are an irritant to her and causes her to finally erupt.

Loud, slightly egotistical, chatty, can seem self-important and overbearing, and can be critical but is accepting of her introverted son. She feels as if she is the Queen Bee in the group, chafes under her husband's control, and tries to run the household.

Selfish, quarrelsome, dictatorial, critical of his son Peter, can be easily irritated, and is rather withdrawn from the other occupants of the Annex.

An old fashioned dentist who is disciplined, hypercritical, sometimes seemingly horrified at Anne's behavior, and is a man who has not come to terms with his situation.

She is an Austrian refugee living in the Netherlands employed by Mr. Frank and is entrusted with provisioning the occupants of the Annex and hiding them from the outside world. She was courageous, empathetic, compassionate, and friendly.

An employee of Mr. Frank's, he helps Miep with the responsibilities of feeding and hiding the occupants of the Annex, and is a trusted colleague and friend. He is sympathetic to their plight, does what he can for them, and runs the company in Mr. Frank's name.
