Fly By Night Productions: The Diary of Anne Frank

March 13, 2026 7:30 pm

Five Flags Center
405 Main Street, Dubuque, IA 52001

Based on the original historic Anne Frank diary, published in 1947, the play tells the story of eight Jewish residents of a cramped annex in Amsterdam, Holland hiding from the Nazi occupiers during WWII from 1942-1944. Deriving its impassioned drama from Anne's words and recollections, the audience gets immersed in the joys and fears of day-to-day life when discovery means death.
