Anne Frank. Her name and legacy still lingers, her diary of her time in The Secret Annex aka Het Achterhuis is published in more than 70 languages.

Mark Vijn Theater Producties is verheugd bekend te maken dat Mariska van Kolck en Wim van den Driessche in de aangrijpende voorstelling Je, Anne gaan spelen. Als het echtpaar Auguste en Hermann van Pels zijn zij vanaf februari te zien in de Nederlandse theaters. De rest van de cast wordt binnenkort bekendgemaakt.

When she was 13 years old, Anne Frank, like many young girls, received a diary for her birthday.  More than 70 years later, the diary she kept is read in classrooms around the world, produced as movies, plays and musicals.   This spring, Half Moon Theatre proudly presents a play based on Anne's diary called Yours, Anne.  The play has a limited run of two weekends at The Culinary Institute of America's Marriott Pavilion.  

The Eventide Theatre Company has made a bold choice in sharing Frank's story with a Cape Cod audience through means of a score depicting her feelings while fearfully secluded in the "Secret Annex," with certain lyrics molded from actual quotes made by the young prisoner. It is safe to say that Eventide has done a spectacular job bringing both the joy and pain of Frank's life to living color for those who would not otherwise have understood the trials she and her family faced in such a gruesome time in history.
