Kelsey Anderson of Esko is among the cast members of the upcoming UW-River Falls production of "The Diary of Anne Frank," which tells the universal story of struggling to grow from adolescent to adult - but in more oppressive circumstances than most people are used to. Anderson will play Margot Frank.
Theater Professor Meg Swanson directs the production.
Students from the College of Education and Professional Studies will facilitate discussions after the performances to enhance understanding.
"What the play attempts to do is to create a portrait of a complex set of individuals trying to get along under circumstances of exceptional stress," said Swanson. "It shows us young people trying to become adults without ever being able to get away from their families. It shows sibling rivalries, romantic fantasies, gender disputes... the whole raft of human experience."
"The Diary of Anne Frank" runs April 13-14 and 19-21. All performances are at 7:30 p.m. in the Blanche Davis Theatre of Kleinpell Fine Arts Building.
