About The Diary of Anne Frank
In the shadow of war and in the silence of hiding, a young girl found her voice—and through her words, gave the world a reason to remember.
The Diary of Anne Frank brings to life the real experiences of Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager forced into hiding with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Adapted from her world-renowned diary, the play captures Anne’s humor, hope, and honesty as she documents the everyday challenges of confinement and the extraordinary courage of those resisting oppression.
Set entirely in the cramped secret annex where eight people lived in fear of discovery, this powerful drama unfolds through Anne’s eyes. Her keen observations, dreams of the future, and deep reflections on human nature reveal a spirit that refuses to be broken—even in the face of hatred.
More than a historical account, The Diary of Anne Frank is a timeless exploration of faith, family, and the resilience of a young soul. It challenges us to remember the past, honor the voices lost, and strive for a world where no one is silenced.
BEHIND THE CURTAIN SERIES
Welcome to the Behind the Curtain Series
Presented by the Wayne High School Theatre Department
Step beyond the footlights and into a world where theatre strips away the spectacle and leans into the story. The Behind the Curtain Series is an exclusive, immersive event staged on the Wayne High School Theatre stage—not in front of the curtain, but behind it.
With the grand main act curtains drawn closed, the audience joins us onstage in a rare theatre-in-the-round experience. Just 125 seats form a tight circle around the action, creating an intimate setting where every breath, every glance, every word resonates.
There are no microphones. No theatrical lighting. We dim the house and let the raw talent of our students—and the power of the story—shine through. It's stripped-down, up-close, and profoundly human.
But this series offers more than a performance. Patrons will also explore the history behind the show, learn about the creative process, and take part in interactive moments designed to bring them even deeper into the world of the play.
The Behind the Curtain Series is a rare event, happening just once every two years. It's not just a show—it’s an experience. An invitation to step inside the art of storytelling and see theatre from a new perspective.
Join us. Come closer. See what happens behind the curtain.
