Fall Mainstage Theatre: The Diary of Anne Frank

Performances are Thursday and Friday, Nov. 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 22 at 2 p.m.

FLCC's Visual and Performing Arts Department presents three performances "The Diary of Anne Frank" in the main campus auditorium Nov. 20-22.

Wendy Kesselman's 2001 stage adaptation of book "The Diary of Anne Frank," this acclaimed reimagining brings Anne’s voice to life with raw honesty and lyrical brilliance, illuminating the inner world of a gifted young girl whose words continue to resonate across generations. Set in the suffocating confines of a hidden annex, the play captures the emotional landscape of eight souls struggling to survive under Nazi persecution—balancing fear and grief with moments of laughter, love, and resilience.

Kesselman’s adaptation weaves in newly discovered diary entries and survivor accounts, offering a deeper, more intimate portrayal of Anne’s experience and the horrors of the Holocaust.

The cast includes Orianna Aerni (Newark), Krystal Anderson (Farmington), Meghan Anderson (Farmington), Everest Cook (Clifton Springs), Alex Cornish (Honeoye), Dee Gutierrez (Rochester), Eleanor Levanway (Canandaigua), Hannah McCarley (Penn Yan), Clover Manning (Naples), Natalie Mix (Henrietta), Charles Moon (North Rose), Joannah Neumann (Honeoye), Kyan Powers (Seneca Falls), Thomas Teerlinck (Canandaigua), and Augustus Vanderlinde (North Rose).

The production team includes Beth Johnson (direction), Ella Schreader (stage management – Clifton Springs), Rosa Maassen (lighting design), James Perri (scenic design), and Sarah Spindler (costumes).
