Ava Greenberg in "The Diary of Anne Frank," Children's Theater of Madison, 2024.

Surely no one reading this needs to be told about Anne Frank and her diary. But the next generation, so much further away from the Holocaust, should be introduced to the Jewish girl who unflinchingly recorded her thoughts in a daybook that miraculously survived World War II even though its author did not. Children’s Theater of Madison will use the stage adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, intended especially for young audiences in grades 6 and up. Shows are at 2:30 and 7 p.m. Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays, plus 6 p.m. on May 12.

$36-$30.

media release: The Playhouse at Overture Center  - 10 Public Shows, SATURDAY, MAY 4 - SUNDAY, MAY 19 - 3PM

A powerful adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, created especially for theaters for young audiences. Anne Frank’s account of her time as a young Jewish adolescent, hiding in the now infamous attic during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam is simultaneously heartwarming and heartwrenching. An important story that must be told and never forgotten. Best suited for grades 6 & up / Run Time approx 75 minutes
