Asian Children's Drama Fiesta 2003!

This was the third year that I Theatre had been heading up the Asian Children’s Festival Drama Fiesta in conjunction with the National Library Board, growing from a single small-scale performance towards a full scale festival. 2002's ACF Drama Fiesta attracted over 10,000 audience members, with 27 completely sold out shows and very good reviews all round. This year was to be even bigger and better!

What does a Jewish girl living in Holland with her family 60 years ago have to offer children of the 21st century?

Inspiration. Hope. A positive outlook in the bleakest of circumstances.
Anne Frank lived during the years of the Second World War when the Germans had invaded and occupied her home country Holland. At the rumours of what was happening to their fellow Jews, Anne’s family decided to go into hiding. Between her 13th and 15th birthdays, Anne kept a diary; a record of her life in "The Secret Annex." Through a mix of sights, sounds and her own words, join Anne for a sharp, funny, and thoughtful dramatic experience. "Sincerely, Anne Frank" is a brand new multi media theatrical adaptation from the virtually unaltered text of her diary. Suitable for children and adults 7 years and up...
