DIRECTOR’S NOTES: September 25, 2015

My endless gratitude goes to the cast, crew and production team for always believing in Anne’s story. Thank you for going on this journey through history with me. This endearing story impacts us all. May her light never be extinguished in the face of intolerance. May her story remain with all of you, always. In lieu of director’s notes, I’ve decided to share with you a personal letter on why I chose to direct this play.

Brother Bob Warren,

Let me preface this letter by saying, though I’ve grown up hearing many stories about you, we have never met. This letter has taken me quite some time to write. I must say everything I have wanted and needed to say for some time now. As a young boy, whenever possible, my aunt made sure to collect me on Friday evenings to take me watch local theater. I was in the 3rd grade when I watched my first play, Dearly Departed, at the Laredo Little Theater. The play was entertaining enough for a child more captivated by watching a dramatized live story than anything else. I attended numerous plays over the next few years, but at 11 years old and beginning the 6th grade at Lamar Middle, Peggy Phelps invited our Drama class to watch LITE Production’s latest endeavor. My mother and I attended that evening’s performance of The Diary of Anne Frank directed by you.

I remember that night as clearly as yesterday. Lights up— Otto and Miep are stage left. It is dark; Otto is old and broken and weeping as he reads his daughter’s diary. I remember Jessica Cardenas’s portrayal of a naive and vulnerable Anne Frank, Mara López as a serious and sensible Margot, John Flanagan and Diana Marcos as the colorful Van Daans. I felt crushed and horrified by the coat scene. I rooted for Peter and Anne to kiss, to give into their romantic notions. But most of all, I remember Danny Villarreal’s astounding performance of a father trying to bring stability to this dangerous and life-altering situation. Your production introduced me to Anne Frank’s story. You must understand the effect your play had on me as a child. I did not know how great the power of theatre as a storytelling device could be. I sat in the audience after the play ended, sobbing, wholly affected by the elaborately simple piece of drama you created with your actors. It is an experience that has been with me since.

I’ve heard countless stories of the legendary “Brother Bob.” People speak so highly of you; how you built your own sets, how you knew specifically what costumes characters should wear, how you led and had so much passion for your work. “Bob did it all,” they say. I deeply admire your vision and dedication to your craft. I want you to know that your work reached me in the house that night and changed how I think about art-- how personal it can be. “I’m grateful to God for having given me this gift,” Anne wrote, “this possibility of developing myself…of expressing all that is in me.” Thank you for giving me this precious gift of theatre—of expression. It’s strange and fascinating to think that someone I only grew up hearing about influenced so much of me, who I am now: honest, relentless, detail-oriented. Thank you for doing what you do, because now I do what I do.

Deepest Regards,

Marco GonzálezGonzález

ANNE FRANK, FAMILY AND FRIENDS

When reading about the Holocaust, one can be overwhelmed by numbers. “So many millions of this group perished, so many of that group and oh, yes, don’t forget those other groups who: died, disappeared, lost loved ones (or homes, professions, fortunes, possessions, etc.).” One of Hitler’s fel- low dictators had this to say about numbers: “When one man dies, it is a tragedy; when millions die, it is a statistic.” What you will see this evening is not about numbers. It is about a young girl, her family, and acquaintances. All of them are ordinary people caught in one of the most extraordinary events of all time. To save themselves they must hide from the worst criminal organization of the twentieth cen- tury. How they deal with the situation is sometimes humorous, ingenious, heartbreaking, and terrifying. Ultimately they fail, and are swept up in the murderous machine that was the Nazi “Final Solution to the Jewish Problem.” Also part of the story are members of the Dutch Resistance, who hid, fed and protected thou- sands of fugitives from the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) and GeheimeStaatspolizei (Gestapo). Those pro- tected by the Dutch included Allied soldiers, airmen and other personnel sought by Axis collaborators and their Nazi overseers. We must recognize and acknowledge the good works of the Resistance and those ordinary Dutch citizens who did not cooperate with that oppressive regime. Their sacrifi ces were responsible for innumerable survival stories from World War Two. Indeed, without one heroic Dutch woman (you will meet her onstage), we would not have the story we see tonight. Hitler and his cronies left a scar on human history that can never be erased; indeed, it must al- ways be remembered for what it was (and remains): shameful. The Diary of Anne Frank puts a face on some of the numbers who perished and some who survived those terrible times. ARTISTIC STAFF & PRODUCTION TEAM

Since then, she has remained active with LTGI in such supportive roles as Assistant Producer of Man of La Mancha (2009) and Bodas de Sangre (2012); Producer of Doubt (2010), Agnes of God (2011), The Foreigner (2011), and Shrek (2015), and as Costumer on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew (2010).
