“The Miracle Worker” by William Gibson
Almost blind herself, Annie Sullivan takes a position in the Keller household to reach their young daughter Helen, left blind and deaf from scarlet fever. With a dynamic gift for teaching, Annie’s devotion to Helen allows her to break through Helen’s darkness, leading her to world of light. It’s William Gibson’s robust story of love, faith, and dedication.
Humanities essay, penned by Dr. Warburton, are available at each performance and on 2nd Story Theatre’s website at www.2ndStoryTheatre.com/playing.
“The Miracle Worker” runs November 14 – December 14.
