"A Miracle
You Can Believe In... an unforgettable theater experience... I
applaud the play’s director, Lisa Gillespie,
who does a terrific job of leading her talented cast
to the
core message of this play: Everyone -- no matter
how handicapped or different -- can succeed and
live a life fully realized... The Miracle Worker is
a story of how one person can truly change the life
of another. I am happy to say that this production
helped change mine. Bravo!"

This stirring dramatization of the
story of Helen Keller is one of the most successful and
warmly admired plays of
the modern stage. Blind and mute, and nobody knows what Helen's
fate might have been had she not come under the tutelage
of Annie Sullivan, an Irish girl who had been born blind.
The Miracle Worker is principally concerned with
the emotional relationship between the lonely teacher and
her blind charge.
Little Helen, trapped in her secret world, is bitter, violent,
spoiled and almost animal like. Only Annie realizes that
there is a mind waiting to be rescued from that dark, tortured
silence. Annie's success with Helen comes only after
some of the most turbulent, violent, and emotion-packed scenes
ever presented on the stage.
