SLAM FRANK

Inspired by a viral Twitter thread that asked, “Did Anne Frank ever acknowledgeher white privilege?”, Slam Frank imagines what happens when a progressive community theater company decides to transform Anne Frank’s story into an intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro-Latin hip-hop musical. The result is one of the most talked-about, argued-about, and laughed-about productions of the season—part satire, part reckoning, all conversation-starter.

Slam Frank delivers sharp, fearless, and side-splitting satire that has become a word-of mouth phenomenon.

Critics have called Slam Frank one of the boldest theatrical experiences of 2025. Former New York Times critic Ben Brantley praised it as “the most important show around,” applauding its fearless theatricality. Zachary Stewart of TheaterMania raved, “If you love the theater and want it to once again be a safe space for dangerous thought, the best thing you can do is buy a ticket to Slam Frank and laugh... I promise, it won’t be difficult!”
