For immediate release:

Terrill Middle School Player’s upcoming production of The Diary of Anne Frank, adapted from Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. Winner of virtually every coveted prize of theatre and film, including the 1956 Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award, Critics Circle Award, and three Academy Awards.

Anne Frank is a Jewish girl who goes into hiding during WW II to escape Nazi persecution. Together with seven others, she hides in the secret annex attached to her father’s business. An aspiring writer, Anne receives a diary as a birthday gift, and it becomes a great source of support. While in hiding, she hears on the radio that the Minister of Education is asking for people to keep war diaries. Anne decides to edit her diary and create a novel called 'The Secret Annex.' After 2 years in hiding, the group is discovered and deported to concentration camps. Anne’s father, Otto Frank, is the only one of the eight people to survive.

“I sometimes wonder if anyone will ever understand what I mean, if anyone will ever overlook my ingratitude and not worry about whether or not I’m Jewish and merely see me as a teenager badly in need of some good, plain fun.” – Anne Frank, December 24, 1943

Published in 1947, the diary has been translated into 71 languages, and published in over 60 countries. More than 30 million copies of Anne’s diary have been sold.
