Three Anne Franks at Virginia Tech
And just after Three Anne Franks closes in LA it opens again at Virginia Tech:
Three Anne Franks
A Play by Maya Macdonald
November 19, 20, 21 at 7:30pm
Theatre 101, 200 College Avenue, VT campus
Three people audition to play Anne Frank in a production that could not obtain the rights to a single word from Anne’s diary. As interpretations vary, we begin to see the difference between who Anne Frank was and who we need her to be. With biting humor, this short play explores complications of privacy and authorship, appropriation, race and Jewish identity, and the performance of history.
Director: Courtney Surmanek
Assistant Director: TeAsya Hudson
Stage Manager: Haylee McGeorge
Ensemble: Destinee Jones, Laura Schneider, Grace Shields, Bryanna Batts
RSVP is not necessary but welcome at courtneymeranda@vt.edu. Seating is on a first-come basis.
Three Anne Franks is a studio assignment conducted as part of the curriculum of the Theatre Department’s Directing & Public Dialogue Program.
