Sep. 21—"In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart."
These simple words written by a 13-year-old girl in the height of World War II have become an essential part of how we remember one of the darkest times in human history.
"The Diary of Anne Frank," opening Sept. 24 at HART Theatre, illuminates the coming-of-age of a passionate, funny and complex girl in the face of religious persecution.
"Anne's story leaves the audience with a lot of hope in a time when people are maybe feeling very hopeless," says director Julie Kinter. "Anne is unbeaten by what's going on in the world outside of the annex. She has nightmares, she knows her friends have been taken and died, but she finds in herself a resilience and a purpose in spite of it all."
Anne's true personality is fleshed out in this adaptation written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, which took unedited diary entries to show the true hope and spirit of Anne Frank. "The Diary of Anne Frank" has a little bit of everything with funny moments, beautiful and sweet moments and some dark times as well.
"If I could have the audience take away one thing from this play," says Kinter, "it would be that finding that empathy and compassion for another person, despite our differences, is the key to mankind surviving."
"The Diary of Anne Frank" plays at HART Theatre Sept. 24-25, 30, Oct. 1-2, 7-9 at 7:30 p.m. and Sept. 26, Oct. 3 and Oct. 10 at 2pm. HART requires all patrons to wear a mask while at the theatre. Tickets are available at harttheatre.org or by calling the HART box office at 828-456-6322 Tuesday to Saturday 1-5 p.m.
This show is suitable for all ages.
