Conversations with Anne

May 3, 2024 at 1:00 PM 

Conversations with Anne

In partnership with the Anne Frank Center USA, the Clinton Center will host two performances of "Conversations with Anne," a one-act solo show, inspired by Anne Frank's diary. Ideal for student audiences, the program provides a uniquely personal glimpse into Anne’s time in hiding. After the performance, the actor playing Anne will answer questions from the audience in character, giving children a chance to connect the present with the past, by imagining they are having a conversation with Anne Frank herself.”
