The Diary of Anne Frank

Director: Kate Frank 
Scenic Designer: Kiah Kayser 
Lighting Designer: Shawn Irish 
Costume Designer: Pat Martin 

University of Arkansas
Design Statement: 
In this incredibly personal play we wanted to create a world that reflected the reality of which the group was going through but then at the same time see it through Anne’s eyes. This can be seen with the over crowded and jumbled layout of the space. We wanted the characters to feel trapped. The backlit jail cell like walls can also emphasize this point at times.
 
Although there is a looming dismal sense hanging over the show, there is still light and that’s in Anne’s view of everything. She brings light and joy to this space; she sees it more as a playground.  There is beauty to the story she tells along with all the other stories that have been told in relation to the holocaust. That is why they cover the walls in such a way that we as audience members are just seeing glimpses, little bits of the larger story of their and other members of the holocaust’s lives.
