Our 63rd Season of Shows 2010-2011

The Miracle Worker
The Miracle Worker

Deaf, blind, and mute twelve-year-old Helen Keller was like a wild animal. Scared out of her wits, but still frighteningly strong, she clawed and struggled against all who tried to help her. Half-blind herself, but blessed with fanatical dedication, Anne Sullivan Macy began a titanic struggle to release the young girl from the terrifying prison of eternal darkness and silence. This Pulitzer Prize winning drama from William Gibson is based on the true story of Helen Keller.

As seen in the San Diego Union-Tribune!

Directed by Desha Crownover and Shalico Leaverton. Written for the Stage by William Gibson.
