The Diary of Anne Frank is once again being produced by Pop-Up Playhouse in conjunction with Anne Kathryn Parma. The show received 4 Broadway World nominations, including Best Play, Best Actress (Genesis Ochao), Best Actor (Emiliano Torres) and Best Director (Stan Zimmerman). Filmmaker, Alan Loayza (Buzzfeed) has been following the company as the show gained worldwide notoriety for using a predominately LatinX cast. This artistic choice was inspired by a CNN report about the true story of a Jewish woman in Los Angeles who created a "Safe House" for a Latina mother and her two daughters after her husband was deported by ICE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO3c9PvZxck&t=7s
