Lake Washington High School Drama presents production on Anne Frank

Lake Washington High School Drama will present "And Then They Came For Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank" from Nov. 18-21 at the Lake Washington High School, 12033 N.E. 80th St. Directed by Jennifer Reif, the production is a unique theatrical experience: a multimedia play that combines videotaped interviews with Holocaust survivors Ed Silverberg and Eva Schloss with live actors recreating scenes from their lives during World War II. Ed was Anne Frank's first boyfriend, and she wrote about him in the beginning of her now-famous diary. Eva Schloss was the same age as Anne Frank and lived in the same apartment building in Amsterdam. Her family went into hiding the same day as the Frank family. And like the Frank family, they were betrayed. On Eva's 15th birthday, her family was arrested by the Nazis and sent to concentration camps. Eva and her mother survived, and after the war her mother married Otto Frank (Anne's father). The ensemble-driven "And Then They Came for Me" breaks new ground and has been acclaimed by audiences and critics in world-wide productions.

Tickets are $8. Shows begin at 2 p.m. Nov. 18 (special student matinee, $5); 7 p.m. Nov. 19-21 and 2 p.m. Nov. 21. For information, call 425-828-3371.
