Conversations with Anne-"Growing up in Hiding"

Directed by Hannah Vaughn

In this live performance, we dramatize Anne’s life in hiding, directly from words in her Diary. She explores circumstances that drove her family into hiding. As days became months and eventually two years, Anne faced frustrations of growing up in isolation, struggling with adults, falling in love, confronting hatred, and fulfilling her dreams. .Join us, and bring your questions for Anne!
