The Diary of Anne Frank
291 Third Avenue, Chula Vista, 91910
The OnStage production has some varied acting and questionable choices, but Lucia Vecchio's splendid performance cancels them out. I've seen several Anne Franks over the years, but never one the same age as — or as good as — Vecchio's. She flits about the stage like quicksilver and transforms into a young woman before our eyes. Kym Pappas's expert direction sustains suspense, even during intermission, and the ensemble cast throughout lives as if, in the very next second, Nazi boots could come pounding up the stairs.
Critic's Pick.
