Stan Zimmerman
Former Roseanne writer Stan Zimmerman is directing a modernized theatrical production of The Diary of Anne Frank in Los Angeles. The classic play re-imagined the Jewish Frank family hiding from Nazis with Latino immigrants hiding from Immigration, Customs, and Enforcement (ICE) officials. The play was inspired by the true story of a Jewish woman in Los Angeles who created a ‘Safe House’ for a Latina mother and her two daughters after her husband was deported by ICE. The play’s characters in the attic will be played by a Latino cast.
The Diary of Anne Frank is being produced by Pop-Up Playhouse in conjunction with Anne Kathryn Parma.
