Renton High School students will perform in “The Diary of Ann Frank” this weekend, Jan. 14-15.

In this gripping new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, from the original stage play by Goodrich and Hackett, newly discovered writings from the diary of Anne Frank, as well as survivor accounts, are interwoven to create a contemporary impassioned story of the lives of people persecuted under Nazi rule. This is an adaptation for a new generation able to confront the true horrors of the Holocaust. The play tells the story of Anne and her recorded account of the trails and tribulations of the people around her, all trying to live a normal life in a cramped attic, while under the constant threat of discovery by Nazis.

The play will be presented at 7 p.m. on Friday (Jan. 14) and Saturday (Jan. 15) at the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center, 400 S. Second St.

Ticket prices are $7 general seating.
