INSPIRED BY HISTORICAL EVENTS ABOUT THE MOST FAMOUS DIARY IN THE WORLD, THE BARRYMORE FILM CENTER is proud to present The DIARY Saturday evening, March 21st at 7:30pm and Sunday, March 22nd at 3pm.
Inspired by actual events, this musical drama tells the story of two families; the Franks and the van Pels, as well as the dentist, Fritz Pfeffer, all forced into hiding during German occupied Amsterdam in the 1940s and the dedicated workers who managed to keep them alive for over two years.
It begins on August 4, 1944, then flashes back to Anne's thirteenth birthday on June 12, 1942 when, for a brief moment in time, she and her four friends, collectively known as "The Dippers," enjoy their young lives, up until the invasion. Nominated for a Perry Award for "Best Original Musical," The DIARY hopes to enlighten and educate those who may not know the story as well as those who do.
Tickets are $35 – Assigned seating for all seats.
