THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
APRIL 15 - 30
By Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman
Directed by Amy E. Jones
Produced by Laurie Devino
In this transcendently powerful new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, 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. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence – their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief.
Each day of these two dark years, Anne's voice shines through: "When I write, I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!" This is a new adaptation for a new generation.
CROWNS - A MUSICAL
POSTPONED to 2023
By Regina Taylor, adapted from the book by Michael Cunningham and Craig Marberry
Director Gwen Ricks-Spencer
Musical Director Lawrence Allen
Crowns is a joyous musical celebration that tells the coming of age story of a 17-year-old girl, Yolanda. A moving and celebratory musical play in which hats become a springboard for an exploration of black history and identity as seen through the eyes of a young black woman who has come down South to stay with her aunt after her brother is killed in Brooklyn. Hats are everywhere, in exquisite variety, and the characters use the hats to tell tales concerning everything from the etiquette of hats to their historical and contemporary social functioning.
