The Frank family hid from the Nazis for two long years in a Secret Annex at the back of a warehouse. During that time, Anne kept a diary in which she not only wrote about the horrors of war but the everyday problems of being a teenager. *About the Play:* This 1955 play, by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, won the Tony Award and Critics Circle Award for best play. The play was also awarded the Pulitzer Prize for drama. *Why This Play?* Tacoma Youth Theatre strives to foster empathy, self-esteem, and respect with young actors. As an educational theatre, young actors don’t often get an opportunity to present responsive and socially relevant material. The best theatre responds the time and place in which we live. THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK provides an opportunity for young actors to tell a powerful story that will reflect and inform the world in which we live. *CLICK HERE TO SIGN-UP FOR AN AUDITION TIME <https://www.tacomayouththeatre.org/fall-2019-the-diary-of-anne-frank/> for THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK* ****************************** *AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS - AUDITION REQUIRED* *SLEEPING BEAUTY* Suggested Ages: 6-12 *Auditions: Oct. 5th or 6th -- 3:00pm – 4:30pm * *Tuition:* $300.00 Pay-What-You-Can *Rehearsals:* Mon. & Wed., 4pm-6pm, October 14 - November 20 *3 Performances:* Nov. 22 & 23 at 7pm, & Nov. 24 at 3pm SLEEPING BEAUTY is Tacoma Youth Theatre’s original adaptation of the classic fairy tale.
