Directed By Steve Holgate & Melissa Riley Presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. PERFORMANCE DATES March 1st - March 16th, 2019 Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm Sundays at 2pm Run Time: Approximately 2 hours, with a 15-minute intermission SYNOPSIS For nearly two years, Anne, her father, mother, and sister, joined with the Van Daan family, to hide in a secret annex space above her father’s former office in Amsterdam, as the Nazis deported the Jews of Holland to their deaths. In her secret attic, Anne comes of age: she laughs, plays, fights with her mother, and falls in love for the first time. In spite of her oppressive circumstances and the horrors that surround her, Anne’s spirit transcends, as she voices her belief, “in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” BEYOND THE PAGES OF THE SCRIPT Experience the play Beyond The Pages of the Script with Beaverton Civic Theatre's free enrichment programming!
