Sherry Chapman: Gallo Center deserves praise for bringing Anne Frank to stage
I want to thank the Gallo Center for the Arts for the fabulous staging of the “Diary of Anne Frank” by the Gallo Center Repertory Co. I am especially appreciative for the educational performances that my students were able to attend. This was an experience I couldn’t possibly have created in my classroom, and my students truly appreciated the opportunity.
Many students had never experienced the Gallo or a live performance, and I am so grateful the Sylvan Union School District provides these opportunities when possible. It was also wonderful for our students to see Charlene West bring Mrs. Frank to life while creating a personal connection for our students. We are all privileged to live in a community that values quality arts education.
