(See description in paragraph above.) All three roles are available. Ages flexible.

Magnificat High School presents The Diary of Anne Frank this weekend
by Dale Van Niel 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

*MAGNIFICAT HIGH SCHOOL* *presents* *THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK* * by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman * *Directed by Maryann Nagel* *April 20 & April 21 at 7:00pm; April 22 at 2:00pm* *Magnificat Center for the Peforming Arts* *20770 Hilliard Blvd - Rocky River* *Tickets available at **www.magnificat.tix.com* <http://www.magnificat.tix.com/>*. Adults $13/Students $8* In this transcendently powerful new adaptation, 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." In this gripping adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, from the original stage play by Goodrich and Hackett, newly discovered writings from the diary of Anne Frank, as well as survivor accounts, are interwoven to create a contemporary impassioned story of the lives of people persecuted under Nazi rule. This is an adaptation for a new generation able to confront the true horrors of the Holocaust. *Women of Faith Who Learn, Lead, and Serve* *Dale Van Niel | Performing Arts Center Manager* 20770 Hilliard Blvd. | Rocky River, OH 44116 School: *440.331.1572 x284* | Fax: 440.895.2045 <+440.895.2045> | Cell: *440.476.1198*

Paul is a strait-laced attorney; Corie has a far more spontaneous, free spirit. As the young couple contend with a lack of heat, a skylight that leaks snow, several long flights of stairs, oddball neighbor Victor Velasco, and Corie's well-meaning mother, they must also reconcile their own personal differences in how they approach life's challenges.
