"Did Anne Frank ever acknowledge her white privilege?”
This question—asked and debated by real people in a massive 2022 Twitter thread—is the inspiration behind Slam Frank.
This musical satire imagines what happens when a progressive community theater company decides, you know what, maybe now is not the time for us to center these privileged, straight, white European Jews (who spent three years in an attic, hiding from Nazis).
And so, in an effort to make our world a better place, this heroic fictional theater troupe transforms Anne Frank’s true story into an intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, decolonized, anti-capitalist, hyper-empowering Afro-Latin hip-hop musical.
And you, the audience, have the privilege of witnessing it.
