the viewer through time, examining Native American occupations, early European descriptions

LSU's School of Theatre begins their Mainstage season with the increasingly relevant
"The Diary of Anne Frank" by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett (adapted by Wendy Kesselman) and directed
by Sanaz Ghajar. It's July 6, 1942 in Amsterdam as the show opens. Because they are
Jews, the Frank and van Daan families move into hiding to avoid arrest by the Nazis.
Mr. Kraler and Miep Gies, Christian business associates and trusted friends, help
everyone get settled in the secret annex: Mr. and Mrs. Frank and their daughters,
Margot and Anne, as well as Mr. and Mrs. van Daan and their son, Peter. The play follows
the lives of these families as they live their lives in hiding, constantly in fear
for their lives. Anne's words are present throughout, providing a gateway into the
most intimate and personal moments.
