“The Diary of Anne Frank” is a stage adaptation of the diary of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl who documented her life in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. The play was written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett and premiered on Broadway in 1955. It has since become a classic and is frequently performed in theaters around the world. On April 21st and for two consecutive weekends, “The Diary of Anne Frank” will be on stage in Willoughby, Ohio at the Fine Arts Association.
