A Play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett
Based upon "Anne Frank: the Diary of a Young Girl" newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman
Directed by Gary Zaro
Synopsis: In this transcendently powerful adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, The Diary Of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence—their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief. Each day of these two dark years, Anne's voice shines through: "When I write I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!" This is a new adaptation for a new generation.

Paradise Valley Community College is proud to partner with Mortenson for the thirteenth, bi-annual Festival of Tales -- a FREE community literacy event. Mortenson is a U.S.-based, top-25 builder, developer and engineering services provider and together we're inviting families to enjoy a full day of storytelling and cultural activities. It's an event that brings reading to life!
Children who participate receive free books and can participate in various activities including; demonstrations, vendors, arts and crafts, games, face painting, live music, food trucks and more!
“Festival of Tales is one of my favorite events here at PVCC,” said Meggin Kirk, education program director. “Not only does it help develop awareness and understanding for other cultures through storytelling, it often is the spark to ignite one's passion for learning.”
Since its inception in 2009, Festival of Tales has attracted more than 17,000 people from Maricopa County and more than 40,000 books have been given away to children and their families. In 2019, Festival of Tales was recognized with two distinguished awards from the Maricopa County Community College District, including the Diversity Advisory Council award and the Paul M. Pair Innovation of the Year award.
