Anne Being Frank

Written by Ron Elisha
Directed by Amanda Brooke Lerner
Featuring Alexis Fishman as Anne Frank

“In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” Anne Frank wrote these famous words a mere three weeks before she met the people who weren’t. Would she still have written the famous line if she had known the fate her family would suffer at the hands of the Nazis?

Anne Being Frank moves between three worlds. The secret annex where she and her family are in hiding, Bergen Belsen where she lives out her final days, and an unlived future in a swanky New York publishing house. Here we meet the bright, debut author who with devastating new insight into the depths of human depravity has rewritten her entire diary. On a quest to tell the truth, she crosses swords with the literati, who dearly wish to maintain the innocence of the original.

Opening night is scheduled for Tuesday, September 12 at 7pm.

Performance schedule: This two-month engagement will run in repertory from September 4th to October 29th, 2023:

Tuesdays at 7pm, Thursdays at 2pm and 7pm, and Sundays at 2pm. No performance Sunday, Sept 17.

TICKETS: $59 each.  Groups of 10 or more: $40 each. 

Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. All performances are general admission. 

Content Warning: This show contains disturbing material including harsh language, gun shots, sexual violence, and degradation. Ages 16+ with parental guidance recommended.
