Letters from Anne and Martin

The courage and eloquence of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Anne Frank is interwoven in a unique productions called “Letters from Anne and Martin,” combining texts from “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl” and from Dr. King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.”

The powerful stage reading is performed by New York-based actors Wesli Spencer, who portrays Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Alexandra Gellner as Anne Frank.

“They both were utopian thinkers in spite of living in dystopian times, in a world that hated and persecuted them.” (Fran Levy, Anne Frank Moral Courage Project)

The performance will be followed by a 30-minute music set featuring Steve Eaton and the powerful compilation of “We Will Always Stand as One.”

Tickets available at the Morrison Center Box Office. $10 (general seating) and $25 (premier seating with a post-performance reception in the Founders Room); purchase online at http://www.morrisoncenter.com/events/detail/letters-from-anne-and-martin
