Celebrating over 100 Years of Theatre 

The Summit Playhouse, founded in 1918, is NJ’s oldest continuously running community theatre. Our season consists of three main stage plays, several youth productions, theatrical workshops and community collaborations. ​Each production benefits a local outreach, and each year a theater arts award is presented to two high school seniors. Our home, built in 1891, is listed on the National Registry of Historic Buildings.

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
By Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett
Adapted By Wendy Kesselman
Directed by Karen Thornton

This enduring tale of hope captures the claustrophobic realities of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic in war-torn Amsterdam. Anne’s daily existence – her fears, her hopes, her laughter, her grief and her family’s desperate attempt to preserve humanity in an inhumane world – drive this transcendently powerful true-life tale. This gripping new adaptation includes newly discovered writings from Anne’s diary.
Come see a performance at the Playhouse,  and prior to the show,
