Immortalized on stage and screen by Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, this classic tells the story of Annie Sullivan and her student, blind and mute Helen Keller. The Miracle Worker dramatizes the volatile relationship between the lonely teacher and her charge. Trapped in a secret, silent world, unable to communicate, Helen is violent, spoiled, almost sub-human and treated by her family as such. Only Annie realizes that there is a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from the dark, tortured silence. With scenes of intense physical and emotional dynamism, Annie's success with Helen finally comes with the utterance of a single, glorious word.

"Miracles" begin November 4th !!!

"She is like a little safe, locked, that no one can open. Perhaps there is a treasure inside." So states Mr. Anagnos to Anne Sullivan as she takes a young Helen Keller under her wing in The Miracle Worker, opening November 4th at H.C.C.T.

The show, directed by Steve Reily, ranges from delightfully humorous moments to high drama, with a beautiful hopeful ending message. A dual casting in the role of Helen enables two terrific young actresses, Ocean Fillingim and Amber Grubert, to share the part.
