ANNE FRANK IN ARIZONA
Over the winter months, JET will 
continue to produce its programs for 
young people — The Diary of Anne 
Frank at the Detroit Institute of Arts 
and a series of anti-bullying shows 
on tour. The outreach programs have 
served almost a million students. 
Additionally, JET is developing pro-
grams for young people that include 
classes and performances. 
Sally Ginn, a longtime JET board 
member and enthusiast for young 
audiences, has been thinking about 
ways to extend the reach for The 
Diary of Anne Frank. When she 
noticed that an Arizona school dis-
trict was building a new arts and 
entertainment center, she started pro-
moting the play.
With a grant from the Bureau of 
Jewish Education of Greater Phoenix 
and the support of the Phoenix 
Holocaust Association, she has been 

at the helm of setting up plans to 
bring the play to Arizona in 2020. It is 
anticipated that the first presentation 
will include a cast from Michigan 
with later productions performed by 
Arizona actors.
“With the rise of anti-Semitism, this 
is an important time to bring this play 
to students, many who can’
t afford 
theater,” Ginn says. “We want them to 
learn about the Holocaust before they 
might hear the wrong messages.
“We are making an effort to reach 
all ethnic groups about the horrors of 
anti-Semitism, and I’
ve been fortunate 
to know people who could help us 
get over the hurdles of starting this 
program.”
Bremer anticipates that the new 
locale in Walled Lake and the shift to 
a warm-weather season will widen 
programming and draw additional 
audiences. 
“We greatly appreciate all the com-
munity help in bringing this move 
about,” says Bremer, who has been 
keeping a photo diary of facility 
remodeling. “Our board and volun-
teers have really been at work to bring 
this together.” ■
