ST. PETERSBURG - Continuing the tradition of live community theatre in its 83rd season, the St. Petersburg Little Theatre presents "The Dairy of Anne Frank, by The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich & Albert Hackett, Oct. 26–Nov. 11.
Director Ron Zietz will awaken the triumphant spirit of the young girl whose legacy continues to inspire hope in a world filled with hate. One need only open the daily newspaper to understand that hate seems alive and well today, here and around the world.
And so the WWII story of Anne Frank still resonates and the message within this beautifully crafted play offers the opportunity to laugh, to cry and to connect with what really matters; family, friends and the hope for a better tomorrow.
Keven Renken, head of the Drama Department at PCCA the Magnate Arts School at Gibbs High School plays Otto Frank with an outstanding cast from all over the peninsula ranging from South St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs.
Come and experience this tense and tender drama of optimism in the face of evil.
