This Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play by William Gibson tells the inspiring true story of Annie Sullivan and her student, Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing at the age of 19 months.
Trapped in a secret, silent world, unable to communicate, young Helen Keller is violent and treated by her family as subhuman. Only Sullivan sees a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from its dark, tortured silence. After scenes of intense physical and emotional struggle, Keller’s breakthrough finally arrives with the utterance of a single, glorious word: water.
With compassion, humor and dramatic tension, The Miracle Worker explores the volatile relationship between a lonely teacher and her headstrong charge.
Our American Sign Language interpreted performance will be on Sunday, March 24th at 2pm. We have assisted hearing devices for all of our performances as well.
