\nThe Voice of Anne Frank speaks to the cares and delights of a thirteen year old girl forced to reckon with the extraordinary circumstances of her time. Her message endures far beyond the last pages of her diary to express not only her very special voice but also that of those who survived, those who did not, and those of us who are left to fond contemporary meaning in her story. Dancer Mirenka Cechov\u00e1 and cellist Nancy Jo Snider utilize dance, music, spoken word, sound effects, and lighting to convey the words of Anne Frank\u2019s diary at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage.
