AUDITIONS for THE MIRACLE WORKER will be held May 20 and 21, starting at 1:00 pm both days, at the Hyde Park Opera House
Show Dates: Sep 29-Oct 1 and Oct 6-8
The Lamoille County Players are looking for community members to be a part of "The Miracle Worker." Auditions will be held THIS WEEKEND!
Auditions are for all roles other than Helen Keller - auditions for that role were in April, and Madeline Lippmann from Newport was selected.
Director Gene Heinrich of St. Albans and Producer Enid Rosenblum of Hyde Park invite you to try out for this incredible acting opportunity. The Miracle Worker (1960 Tony Award winner for Best Play) is a three-act play by William Gibson, which was based on Helen Keller's autobiography “The Story of My Life.” Though Helen Keller was born with the ability to see and hear, at 19 months old she contracted an illness that left her both deaf and blind. Her parents, who pitied and spoiled their afflicted daughter, hired a young Annie Sullivan to try and reach the mind of Helen. After many battles and disciplined weeks together, Annie broke through to Helen, giving her a connection to language and all the world had to offer.
Although many believe that "The Miracle Worker" only focuses on the relationship between Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller, the play is far broader than that. It also revolves around the Keller family, which has been torn apart by Helen’s handicaps. While Annie works with Helen, Annie must also bring the entire Keller family together to learn acceptance and understanding if Helen is ever to have a normal, productive life. "The Miracle Worker" is a family saga of remarkable beauty, proving that love can conquer anything.
Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this incredible show.
