FRIDAY - Field trip to the Center for Puppetry Arts to see Anne Frank.
This powerful production commemorates the life of a remarkable young girl and her inspiring story. Using Anne Frank’s actual words from her diary, this compelling production gives form to the young girl's vivid account of a life in hiding during the Holocaust, sensitively capturing her inner life and dreams. Anne Frank: Within and Without chronicles Anne’s day-to-day life as she, her family, and four others hid together during Nazi oppression and persecution. The show also explores the world outside the walls of the Secret Annex with scenes demonstrating the rise of fascism and anti-Semitism across Europe. Presented in cooperation with the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust, this evocative telling of Anne's experiences honors a remarkable teenager who has touched the hearts of people around the globe for more than 60 years.
