Kilgore College Theatre opens its 2025–26 season with Dear Anne, From Nina, a heartfelt historical drama inspired by the real-life letters exchanged between Anne Frank and her American pen pal, Juanita Wagner. Performances will run Oct. 9–12, 2025, at the Van Cliburn Auditorium inside the Anne Dean Turk Fine Arts Center.
Set during World War II, the play moves between Anne’s hidden life in Amsterdam and Nina’s experiences on an Iowa farm. Through letters, the story explores friendship, distance, and how young people make sense of a world in crisis.
Oct. 9-10 (Thursday and Friday) at 10:30 a.m.
Each morning performance includes a post-show talkback with the cast and director. Free lesson plans and study guides are available upon request by emailing boxoffice@kilgore.edu.
