presents a professional development workshop for teachers, "Facing History and Ourselves," from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 23, in the Playhouse's Sheffer Studio.
Peter Nelson, director of the New York regional office of Facing History and Ourselves, will present a half-day workshop for teachers exploring themes of identity, isolation and memory through the lens of Anne Frank's diary and those of other teenage victims of the Holocaust. Using entries from the text and other resources, the workshop will look into how journal keeping and diary-writing enable both self-discovery and an escape from isolation.
The workshop is free and open to all educators. For more information or to register for the teacher development workshop, contact Angela Marroy Boerger at 203-227-5137, ext. 133, or aboerger@westportplayhouse.org
