GREENE – The Chenango River Theatre is currently performing the second of their American Classics Series, The Diary of Anne Frank, to provide an educational performance for local schools.

Performances will be held at the Chenango River Theatre in Greene Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through this weekend. The show will then relocate to the Chenango County Council of the Arts for one educational performance and one performance open to the public at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 28.

The educational performances, according to Artistic and Managing Director Bill Lelbach, provide an opportunity for schools in Chenango County witness stage-plays that they are currently studying in school. The success of last year’s performance, Of Mice and Men, which drew more than 500 students, led Lelbach to continue the series.

“We wanted to provide an opportunity for these students to see a professional work,” said Lelbach. “Unfortunately, we only have 99 seats ... all of the student shows are sold out.”
