The life of Helen Keller, the courageous woman who overcame tremendous disability, is familiar to most of us. But such is the power of her amazing story that it continues to inspire again and again. William Gibson's The Miracle Worker was first presented on stage in 1959. It tells the true story of a young teacher named Annie Sullivan and her heroic efforts to give the blind, deaf and mute Helen Keller the gift of language. With no way to communicate, Keller's life until meeting Sullivan was one of frustration and rage. With remarkable dedication and love, Sullivan fed Keller the universe through her hands. Audiences are reawakened to the limitless possibilities of being alive.

I thoroughly enjoyed STCs production of The Miracle Worker. The costumes were excellent and the young lady that played Helen capitavated my attention the whole time. I was glad I was not the only one crying at the end.

An intimate venue--very relaxed. Have seen the movie, but unfamiliar with the play. It did not disappoint. Earnest, solid performances. Enjoyed the pre-show talk. My first time there, but not my last.

The play was fantastic. I would highly recommend it for anyone who like stage theatre. The actors who played Helen and her teacher were excellent.

Description

The Miracle Worker, by William Gibson is presented by Sacramento Theatre Company in honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Helen Keller was rendered blind and deaf by a childhood illness. By the age of six, she had grown into a wild and uncontrollable child. Annie Sullivan convinced her parents that she needed two weeks alone with Helen to progress her education. Sullivan taught Keller discipline and language through the use of her fingers, a breakthrough that has a direct effect on everyone's life and the way they live it. Keller went on to become a prolific writer and social activist.
