Arriving at the beginning of our 19-20 season and just in time to inspire you for Halloween, this gem of an American musical comedy marked one of the first collaborations between composer Alan Menken and lyricist/book writer Howard Ashman. Together they went on to write the equally successful The Little Mermaid and the wildly successful Beauty and the Beast.

By Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett Adapted by Wendy Kesselman Directed by Raymond Caldwell The Olney Theatre Center’s National Players touring production tells the story of 13 year-old Anne Frank who, in 1941, goes into hiding with her family from the Nazis. For the next two years, she never leaves the attic where her family is concealed. With fear of discovery ever present, Anne finds solace writing in her diary, capturing the daily lives of the secret annex’s inhabitants—from the horrors of war to the excitement of first love —with wit, determination, and idealism. With a multicultural cast, National Players brings the true story of this incredibly insightful young girl that is often read in school to the stage in hopes of inspiring the next generation to stand up for justice rather than sit back in apathy.

Stories from different countries and cultures of the world. Stories that have traveled centuries and come to us fun, exciting and rejuvenated thanks to an artist of great talent and sensitivity. Featuring actress and storyteller Marilyn Romero. Event in Spanish.

Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. MEN ON BOATS is the true(ish) history of an 1869 expedition, when a one-armed captain and a crew of insane yet loyal volunteers set out to chart the course of the Colorado River.
