KILGORE, Texas — Kilgore College Theatre will open its 2025–26 season with "Dear Anne, From Nina" by Claudia Haas, a historical drama inspired by the letters exchanged between Anne Frank and her American pen pal, Juanita Wagner.

Performances will be held Oct. 9-12 in Van Cliburn Auditorium, located inside the Anne Dean Turk Fine Arts Center. Directed by Micah Goodding, the play is a candidate for the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival.

Set during World War II, the production moves between Anne's hidden life in Amsterdam and Nina's experiences on an Iowa farm. Through their letters, the story explores themes of friendship, distance and how young people make sense of a world in crisis.

Public performances:

Thursday, Oct. 9, at 7:30 p.m.

Friday, Oct. 10, at 7:30 p.m.
