What happens when a progressive community theater troupe decides that “now is not the time to center privileged, straight, white Europeans (who happened to be hiding from Nazis)”? The answer is Slam Frank, a genre-defying musical satire that’s igniting debate long before opening night.

Inspired by a real 2022 Twitter thread asking, “Did Anne Frank ever acknowledge her white privilege?”, Slam Frank takes aim at the intersection of art, activism, and absurdity. The show reimagines Anne Frank’s life through a self-aware lens of overzealous inclusivity: Anita Franco is now a pansexual Latinx girlboss with a hip-hop diary flow; Peter Van Daan is a non-binary dancer struggling against gender norms; and Mister Van Daan, the lone cishet male, is literally worse than the Nazis. 

And you, the audience, have the privilege of witnessing it.
