The Diary of Ana Fernandez

In a poignant exploration of survival, hope, and human dignity, American Theatre of Actors (ATA) presents the world premiere production of "The Diary of Ana Fernandez," written by Joseph P. Krawczyk and directed by Eddie Lew. Drawing powerful parallels to Anne Frank’s timeless narrative, The Diary of Ana Fernandez portrays the quiet courage and terrifying reality of a young, undocumented girl fighting to keep her dreams alive. When immigration agents begin targeting students at her local school, 14-year-old Ana Fernandez and her father are forced into hiding with the aid of a compassionate teacher. Seeking refuge and strength in the written word, Ana begins documenting her fears, hopes, and daily struggles as they navigate the constant threat of separation and deportation. The result is a funny, heartbreaking, and deeply urgent theatrical experience for contemporary America.
