Few stories have captured the horror and cruelty of the Holocaust quite like the compelling story of Anne Frank. As her family hides from Nazi tyranny, a young woman’s account of courage, love and human resilience transcends the chaos.
Her diary continues to inspire young people across the globe with its poignant, often humorous observations and unconquerable spirit. Our production brings Anne’s heart-warming story to the Toronto stage for a new generation, featuring a superb cast of professional actors.

Testimonials & Reviews
“I am always impressed with the professionalism and fresh perspective S.I.A. brings to their production.” - teacher at Leo Baeck South Campus
“Other productions are just not affordable for our students. Many of my students are in public housing and the fact we could take the TTC and pay under $20 made the trip possible."
"I can't tell you how impressed I was by the depth of talent among the actors, as well as top-drawer direction.”
"The production… is touching and emotionally rich, with a nod both to the tension of the story and the warmth of family relationships.” - Jon Kaplan and Glenn Sumi, Now Magazine
“Under the direction of Michael Kelly, The Diary of Anne Frank is a sterling production with a first rate cast.” – Jeniva Berger, SceneChanges
“The actors strike the right notes in each scene: their emotions and interactions are genuine and the dialogue is fresh. From start to finish, the audience is moved not just to tears but also to delighted laughter…” – Joanne Hill, The Jewish Tribune
