July 25th & 26th

Show Dates:
October 16-18 and 23-25

Character Descriptions:

Anne Frank (Female, 13-15) - Vibrant, imaginative, talkative, and deeply introspective. Must be able to carry emotional arcs from childish curiosity to tragic maturity. As part of Anne’s emotional journey, the role includes a brief, innocent moment of staged intimacy that reflects adolescent affection rather than romance. This moment will be fully choreographed and rehearsed with clear boundaries and professionalism.

Otto Frank (Male, 40s-50s) - Anne’s father. Calm, wise, and quietly dignified. The moral center of the play.

Edith Frank (Female, 40s-50s) - Anne’s mother. Worn down by anxiety and longing. Gentle but stern, struggles to connect with Anne.

Margot Frank (Female, 16-18) - Anne’s older sister. Reserved, well-behaved, and dutiful. Acts as a foil to Anne’s emotional energy.

Peter Van Dann (Male, 15-18) - Shy, awkward, becomes Anne’s confidant and love interest. Develops confidence as the story progresses. The role includes a brief, innocent moment of staged intimacy that serves the story’s emotional truth. This moment will be fully choreographed and rehearsed with clear boundaries and professionalism.

Mr. Van Dann (Male, 40s-50s) - Grumpy and impatient. Finds pressure of confinement hard to bear. Vulnerable despite bravado.

Mrs. Van Dann (Female, 40s-50s) - Vain, flirtatious, and melodramatic. Both comic relief and tragically out of place.

Mr. Dussel (Male, 50s-60s) - A late arrival to the Annex. A fussy, finicky dentist who clashed with the Franks and Anne in particular.

Miep Gies (Female, 20s-30s) - The Frank family’s brave helper. Kind, resourceful, and deeply human.

Mr. Kraler (Male, 30s-50s) - A businessman helping the families. Nervous and cautious: a quiet hero.
