Love Street Playhouse recently announced it will present the historic drama The Miracle Worker. Show dates run February 14 through March 9 at Love Street Playhouse, located ast 126 Loves Ave in Woodland. Single tickets are $26 on sale at www.lovestreetplayhouse.com. 

Immortalized on screen by Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, this Tony Award-winning play is the story of Annie Sullivan (played by Katie Norcross) and her student, Helen Keller (played by Amelia Benson), who lost her sight and hearing at the age of 19 months. With compassion, humor and dramatic tension, The Miracle Worker explores the volatile relationship between a lonely teacher and her headstrong charge.

Trapped in a secret, silent world, unable to communicate, young Helen is violent and spoiled, treated by her family as subhuman. Only Annie sees a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from Helen’s dark, tortured silence. After intense physical and emotional struggle, Helen’s breakthrough finally arrives with the utterance of a single, glorious word: “water.”

Director Brenda McGinnis of Vancouver has assembled a talented cast for this high-energy, dramatic production. Starring in The Miracle Worker is Katie Norcross as Annie Sullivan, Amelia Benson as Helen Keller, Kilee Rheinsburg as Kate Keller, Tim Klein as Captain Keller, Alex Hugo as James Keller, Jeaudelle ViDelco as Aunt Ev, Janet Andrews as Viney, Michael Reid as Anagnos and the Doctor, Haidynne Hofstetter as Percy, Penny Walker as Martha, Harper Holland as Sarah and Killian Harwood as Jimmie.
