No leaving. No yelling. No dancing. No singing. No fighting. Those were the Annex rules. Anne Frank was 13 years old when her family went into hiding from the Nazis. Many people are familiar with the real-life events surrounding the Frank family's hiding in the secret annex during Hitler's invasion of Holland during the war. The play The Diary of Anne Frank is based on Anne's writings and is a powerful, deep look into the heart and mind of a child who is becoming a woman. Anne's thoughts, dreams, wonder and agony comes to life onstage in a story you will never forget.
