| THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANKby Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett
adapted by Wendy Kesselman
ONE PUBLIC PERFORMANCE ONLY
at Whitaker Center
Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 2pm
Open Stage's 15th annual production of this tender, inspiring drama will return to Whitaker Center on Saturday, March 8, 2014 for one public performance only. Presented by PSEA and Kades-Margolis. Sponsored by Quality Cleaners and family. Student ticket subsidy by PSEA and Kades-Margolis.
PUBLIC PERFORMANCE: 2PM, MARCH 8, 2014
Open Stage of Harrisburg presents the highly acclaimed, award-winning play, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK. Winner Of The Pulitzer Prize, The Tony Award, The Critic's Circle Award, and Virtually Every Other Coveted Prize of the Theatre, the play is an inspiring story of perseverance and hope, which serves as a timeless lesson that the spirit of a child is impossible to deny.
Even if you have read the diary or watched the movie, experiencing the live stage play is a unique and moving experience that brings new life to the story. Set during one of history's most brutal periods, the Holocaust, the play is based on the actual diary of a young girl who comes of age while hiding from the Nazis in a tiny, overcrowded attic with her family for more than two years. During their confinement, Anne discovers herself as a beautiful, thoughtful, and extraordinary girl. Her story is a constant reminder to us all of the power of the human spirit.
Approx. 2 hours with one intermission

The Angino Family Theatre at Open Stage of Harrisburg
Thursday, Friday & Saturday Evenings at 8PM
Sunday Matinees at 2PM
Approx. 2 hours and 15 minutes with one intermission.
On two separate afternoons, 50 years apart, a modest bungalow on Chicago’s northwest side becomes a contested site in the politics of race
September 1959: Russ and Bev are moving out to the suburbs. They’ve inadvertently sold the house to the neighborhood’s first black family and ignited a community showdown.
September 2009: the neighborhood is ripe for gentrification and the house is again changing hands. This time to a young white couple with plans for demolition and a knack for saying the wrong thing at the
wrong time. These hilarious and horrifying neighbors pitch a battle over territory and legacy that reveals how far our ideas about race and gentrification have evolved—or have they?
b>In a provocative nod to A Raisin in the Sun, Pulitzer Prize winner Bruce Norris examines what happens when home becomes a battleground.

| Open Stage's Court Street Series
presents a staged reading of
THE LARAMIE PROJECT: TEN YEARS LATER
On Oct. 6, 1998, Matthew Shepard was beaten and tied to a fence in the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming, and left to die. He died six days later. A month after the murder the members of Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie and conducted interviews with the people of the town. The Laramie Project was a cultural pulse-taking that told of the personalities and events of the murder and its aftermath.
Ten years later, Tectonic members returned to Laramie to find out what has happened over the last ten years. Has Matthew's murder had a lasting impact on that community? How has the town changed as a result of this event? What does life in Laramie tell us about life in America 10 years later?
Open Stage produced THE LARAMIE PROJECT in 2001. Join us for the epilogue of this important story.
