Two actresses, one white and one black, have made it to the final callbacks for the role of a lifetime— to play Anne Frank in an upcoming staged production. But as the topic of color-blind casting makes its way into the audition room, the controversial question emerges: who is best suited to portray Anne Frank? Based on the original play Anne, written by Adi Eshman.
