THE AVENTURA CENTER BRINGS BACK
THE STORY OF
“THE DIARY OF 13-YEAR OLD ANNE FRANK”
On her thirteenth birthday, Anne Frank’s parents give her a diary. She was so excited because she wants someone-or something-in which to confide all of her secret thoughts. Even though she has a rich social life, she feels misunderstood by everyone she knows.
Anne starts writing about daily events, her thoughts, school grades, boys. But, within a month, her entire life changes. As Jews in German-occupied Holland, the Frank family fears for their lives.
When Anne’s sister, Margot, is called to appear before the authorities-which would almost surely mean she was being sent to a concentration camp-Anne and her family go into hiding. They move into a little section of Anne’s father’s office building that is walled off and hidden behind a swinging bookcase.
For two years, the Frank family lives in this Secret Annex. Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan and their son Peter (who is a few years older than Anne) are also hiding with the Franks. Later, Mr. Dussel (an elderly dentist) moves in, and Anne has to share her bedroom with him. Anne’s adolescence is spent hiddern from the outside world. She’s cooped up in tiny rooms, tiptoeing around during the day and becoming shell-shocked from the sounds of bombs and gunfire at night.
Anne grows in her knowledge of politics and literature, due to the tons of literature and a radio available to her. She puts tons of energy into studying and writing including a greater interest in Peter than she first thought. Sensitive to the world, her own suffering becomes unbearable.
There her diary ends. In two short months after Anne’s fifteenth birthday, the secret annex is raided and things got worse. Anne and other members of the annex were sent to concentration camps.
With a magnificent multicultural cast, the National Players bring the true story of this incredibly insightful young girl, in hopes of inspiring the next generations to stand up for justice.
Tickets are $25-$49 plus for this February 6, 2020, 8 p.m. production at Ticketmaster. For more information call the box office at 877-311-7469 located at 3385 N. E. 188th St., Aventura.
"HAMILTON” THE MOST POPULAR SHOW
EVERY ONE WANTS TO SEE
COMING TO ARSHT CENTER
Coming to the Arsht Center February 18 thru March 15, 2020, Hamilton is the story of America’s founding father Alexander Hamilton, with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda, inspired by the 2004 biography of Alexander Hamilton, written by Ron Chernow. The show is an achievment of historical and cultural reimagining. The costumes and set reflect the period, with velvet frock coats and knee breeches.
The show revolves around the life of Alexander’s many achievment as a military hero and aide to George Washington, as the first Secretary of the Treasury and much more.
Hamilton is a story about America, and the most beautiful thing about it is ....it’s told by such a diverse cast with such diverse styles of music, according to Renee Elise Goldberry who played Angelica Schuyler. Although based on historical events and people, Miranda did use some dramatic license in retelling the story. For example while Angelica did have a strong relationship with Hamilton, it is exaggerated in the show.
In 2015 the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced a redesign of the $10 dollar bill, with plans to replace Hamilton, with a then-undecided woman from American history. Because of Hamilton’s surging popularity and due to the musical, plans were reversed.
Hamilton has been awarded almost every award possible, leaving audiences clamoring for tickets now available from $78 to $198 and up at the Arsht Center at Ticketmaster. Performances in the Ziff Ballet Opera House opens February 18 thru March 15, 2020. For other information call the box office at 786-468-2326, located at 1300 Biscayne Blvd., Miami.
