CPCC Theatre is proud to present this stirring dramatization of the real life story of Helen Keller. The Miracle Worker is one of the most successful and warmly admired plays of the modern stage. Blind and mute, 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. 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. Join CPCC Theatre for an evening the NY Daily Mirror called – “Magnificent theatre.”

The auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. You do not have to be a current CPCC student to participate. College credit is available to those who qualify.

 

Rehearsals will begin early March, 2008. Performances will be held on April 25, 26 and May 2, 3, 4. Director- Corlis Hayes

We are also looking for people interested in working backstage as Stage Manager, set crew, props, etc.
