Join us for a powerful, in-person performance of The Diary of Anne Frank at The Goldrich Cultural Center’s new Gonda Auditorium in the S. Mark Taper Theater. Directed by Stan Zimmerman (The Golden Girls, Gilmore Girls), this widely acclaimed and innovative staging (featured on CNN and in the Los Angeles Times) reimagines Anne Frank’s story through a predominantly Latinx cast, drawing urgent and thought-provoking parallels to today’s immigration crisis and the enduring realities of displacement, persecution, and resilience.

Set within the intimate space of our newest theater, this production invites audiences to experience Anne’s words with renewed immediacy and relevance, illuminating the ways in which her voice continues to echo across generations and communities.

Following the performance, audiences are invited to stay for a post-show Talk Back featuring a Holocaust survivor alongside members of the cast.

Stan Zimmerman is a man of many mediums (TV, film and theatre). He’s been nominated for two WGA Awards for Best Comedy Writing – The Golden Girls and Roseanne (the infamous lesbian kiss episode). Stan’s also written and produced on Gilmore Girls, co-created the Lifetime sitcom, Rita Rocks, wrote on both Brady Bunch movies and rewrote the ABC-TV movie of Annie. Stan has a BFA-Drama from NYU/Circle-in-the-Square and has directed LA productions of The Diary of Anne Frank, Entertaining Mr. Sloane, A Tuna Christmas, Gemini, Spike Heels and his original plays — Meet & Greet, Knife to the Heart, Have a Good One, and Yes Virginia.
