• Show: Being Frank
• Topic: This play depicts the Holocaust as seen through the eyes of Anne Frank’s father, Otto Frank. Famed MU alumnus and Christian Science Monitor journalist Arthur Unger interviewed Frank in the late 1970s and captured a portrait of a shattered life. The one-man play adapts the interview for the stage.

• Director: Heather Carver, who also performs in this month’s Booby Prize, was asked by Babbitt to direct his play after she asked him to direct hers. There is a peculiar dichotomy in the two plays, which will alternate nights throughout the end of the month and the beginning of February, as one is a comedy and one is a serious drama.
• When: January 26, 28 and February 1, 3
• Where: Corner Playhouse, MU campus
