Brilliant, witty and wise beyond her years, Anne Frank wrote unsparingly of her family’s claustrophobic years in hiding in an Amsterdam attic before their ultimate betrayal and execution by the occupying Nazi army. The Denver Center Theatre Company presents a new adaptation of the prize-winning play based on Anne Frank’s diary.

Finally, the evening ends with a sneak preview of the exhibit in the lobby of the theatre. For more info on DCTC, go to denvercenter.org. Registration is required.
