The play, based upon Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, was originally written for the stage by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett.

Through Anne’s eyes, we see the prevailing hopes of a girl who – despite everything – inspired generations with her unwavering faith in humanity. This production begins Friday, Jan. 29 and runs through Sunday, Feb. 21 at KC Rep’s newly renovated Spencer Theatre. Kansas City Repertory Theatre Announces Cast for The Diary of Anne Frank Jan. 29 through Feb. 21 at Spencer Theatre Page 1 “This work by Wendy Kessleman is stunningly lyrical and poetic,” stated Wolf. “My hope is that KC Rep audiences will connect intimately with Anne as a budding young woman and all that goes with a young and emerging heart, in spite of the world looming outside.” The ensemble cast, drawn locally as well as from across the country, includes: Daniel Beeman as Peter Van Daan, Martin Buchanan as Mr.

Director’s Notes... “Try to remember the kind of September, when life was slow and oh mellow.” This is the opening line of The Fantasticks and I can’t think of a more perfect way to start a show during these strange times. This is one of my favorite shows. I love it’s music, I love the characters, I love it’s timeless message of needing to grow before truly appreciating what you have. In it’s 60 year history The Fantasticks has always been a testament to beauty in simplicity. This quaint, “little” show has stood the test of time when many, many big budget shows have come and gone. It is our job tonight to take you away from your everyday worries. To help you remember a time when things were more simple. To get you to laugh and to remind you that “without a hurt, the heart is hollow.” Enjoy the show!

EL GALLO: Try to Remember LUISA: Much More MATT: I Can See It HUCKLEBEE/BELLOMY Plant a Radish ENSEMBLE/MORTIMER /HENRY: This Plum is too Ripe CALLBACKS: SEPTEMBER 8TH 2:45 – 6:30pm THE FANTASTICKS CHARACTER BREAKDOWN & SYNOPSIS Whimsical, poignant, and romantic, The Fantasticks is an allegorical story that focuses on two young lovers, their meddling fathers, and the journey we all must take through adolescent thrills, the growing pains of hurt and betrayal, the highs of passion, the challenges of distance, and the agonies of heartbreak to discover how to truly love. In a theatrical and inventive fashion, our gallant and enigmatic narrator--El Gallo--introduces us to a pair of young lovers, Matt and Luisa, who experience the magical, moonlit phase of falling in love. For a time, romance seems perpetually exciting, and heroics seem always to save the day. However, El Gallo leads our young protagonists from the romantic moonlight into the harsh sunshine, where the weaknesses in their relationship are exposed and the reality of the struggles and heartache love brings is revealed. With the understanding that “without a hurt the heart is hollow,” Matt and Luisa manage to find their own identities, and in turn, to discover their strengths as a couple in times of both darkness and light.
