Auditions for "The Diary of Anne Frank" will be
held at The Olathe Community Theater at 500 East
Loula on Saturday, June 23, and Sunday, June 24,
from Noon - 4:00 p.m. each day. (Callbacks will
be held on the evening of Tuesday, June 26, if
needed.)
This is the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic by
Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett newly
adapted by Wendy Kesselman. The show will be
directed by Darren Sextro and stage managed by
D.K. Evenson. It's highly recommended that
auditioners read the play ahead of time or at
least familiarize themselves with the story.
The show calls for one teenage actress (Anne
Frank), one older teen or youthful adult actress
(Margot Frank), and three adult actresses (Edith
Frank, Mrs. Van Daan and Miep Gies), as well as
one older teen or youthful actor (Peter Van
Daan) and four adult actors (Otto Frank, Mr. Van
Daan, Mr. Dussel and Mr. Kraler). Auditioners
may prepare a short dramatic monologue if
desired (optional) and be prepared for cold
readings from the script. Audition sides are
available from the director. Please contact him
at the e-mail address given below if
interested.
Performance dates are October 5, 6, 12, 13, 14
(2PM matinee), 19 and 20.
