The Diary of Anne Frank
Adapted by Frances Goodrich & Albert Hackett, adapted by Wendy Kesselman
Co-produced in partnership with Theatre Tulsa
August 2026 — Theatre Tulsa Studios
Anne Frank and her family spent 761 days hiding in a concealed apartment above her father's office in Amsterdam. She was thirteen when they went in. In August 1944, someone informed on them. Anne died at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp eight months later — weeks before liberation.
She kept a diary. It has been read by more people than almost any other book in history — because her voice is not a statistic. She was a specific person, in a specific building, living a specific life that a government decided didn't count.
This production, adapted by Wendy Kesselman, doesn't soften the story. It gives you Anne — funny, brilliant, furious, full of life.
The machinery of persecution doesn't announce itself. It begins with paperwork, with categories, with the slow bureaucratic erosion of who counts as a person under the law.

1984
Adapted by Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan, based on the novel by George Orwell
Co-produced in partnership with World Stage Theatre Company
May 2027 — World Stage Theatre Company
George Orwell finished 1984 in 1949, convinced no one would read it. He was wrong — and in this acclaimed stage adaptation, you'll understand why the book has never gone out of print.
This production does something the novel can't: it puts you inside Winston Smith's world. The surveillance is total. Truth is manufactured daily. The past is whatever the Party says it was.
The rewriting of history. The erosion of a free press. Surveillance as a tool of control. The weaponization of language so that words no longer mean what they mean. 1984 was written as a warning. The question this production asks isn't whether Orwell was right. It's whether we'd recognize it.
