Off-Broadway's Slam Frank has extended its sold-out run once again at Asylum NYC, and will now continue to December 28. The show's co-creator, Andrew Fox, will continue in the role of The Director and Mr. Van Daan for the final weeks of performances.

Written by Fox and Joel Sinensky, Slam Frank reimagines the story of Holocaust victim and diarist Anne Frank through, press notes state, an "intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro-latin hip-hop lens." The work—which follows a performatively progressive community theatre trying to decolonize Frank's diary, was inspired by a viral thread on Twitter asking the incendiary question, "Did Anne Frank ever acknowledge her white privilege?"
