The story of Anne Frank captured with
heartbreaking eloquency in the pages of
her diary have been shared on stage, fi lm
and countless art forms over the decades.
However, newly discovered writings from
her diary, along with survivor accounts, have
been interwoven into a contemporary and
impassioned re-telling of the lives of people
persecuted under Nazi rule.
Written by Frances Goodrich and Albert
Hackett, and adapted for the stage by Wendy
Kesselman, the play has been described by
The Associated Press as “A powerful new
version that moves the audience to gasps,
then tears.”
The play captures the claustrophobic
realities of the families in hiding as they
move through a daily existence mixed with
fear, hope, laughter and grief during the
two dark years Anne Frank and her family
managed to stay alive within the confi nes of
a space that was both safe haven and prison.
Presented by The Last Resort Players
and directed by Jennifer Connor and Cathy
Dupont, auditions for “Diary of Anne Frank”
will take place at the Florence Events Center
on Saturday, Dec. 5, at 1 p.m., and Sunday,
Dec. 6, at 2 p.m.
Auditions are open to the public.

Auditions for ‘Diary of Anne Frank’ to be held Dec. 5, 6
Buy an empty, handmade ceramic bowl created by
local artists and, in the process, help someone who may
otherwise go hungry for the holidays. That’s been the idea
behind the annual Empty Bowls event, now celebrating
its 20th year. This year’s event will offer more than 700
handmade ceramic bowls to the public, created by many
local artists, with the purchase price of $10 each. Smaller
bowls will also be available at $5 each. Each bowl will
be accompanied by a coupon redeemable for one cup of
the soup of the day at a participating restaurant during the
month of December. Participating restaurants’ menus and
location will be featured at the “Soup Table” at the event
for viewing by the public.
There will be a wide variety of eating establishments
participating this year so that many different cuisines will
be available to choose from.
Along with local Florence artists from throughout the
area, more than 75 Siuslaw High School students will be
involved in the production of handmade ceramic bowls
Through the Empty Bowls event, ceramics students are
not only learning how to create handcrafted ceramic
bowls, they are also learning how to give back to their
community in a unique way. This project has helped raise
their awareness of the needs of others and how they might
assist in meeting those needs.
Also, for the second year, the Siuslaw High School
Culinary Class will join forces with Empty Bowls
providing refreshments for the Artists Reception and the
Empty Bowls Fundraiser. Under the direction of instructor
Kyle Lewis, students will be creating delicious snacks for
Empty Bowls attendees.
A silent auction is also available for attendants to
participate in.
The 20th Annual Empty Bowls fundraiser will be held
Dec. 4, 5 and 6. Every year, sponsors, local restaurants
artists, Lane Community College, Siuslaw High School
and numerous volunteers join together to make this
community event a success. All proceeds from this
fundraiser make it possible for our local food pantry to
provide services to those in need in the area.
Admission is free.
So come purchase a one-of-a-kind piece of art that
is beautiful to look at, functional and will help the needy.
