4 Tickets to The Miracle Worker at The Wheelock Family Theatre
The Miracle Worker
April 13 - May 13, 2012
A play by William Gibson. Directed by Susan Kosoff. Scenic design by Janie Howland. Lighting by Scott Clyve. Costumes by Lisa Simpson. Sound design by Dewey Dullay. With Audree Hedequist as Helen Keller and Brittany Rolfs as Annie Sullivan.
Imagine yourself imprisoned in a foreign land where no one speaks your language, you understand no one, and everyone assumes you are stupid, possessed, or insane. Imagine your rage, imagine your frustration, imagine your inability to communicate your feelings in any other way than to lash out at those who carry on with their lives around you, oblivious to you.
"The Miracle Worker" is a remarkable tale of strength, courage, dedication, and love. It is a triumphant ode to human spirit and potential. Most of all, this play by WIlliam Gibson, is a celebration of a young woman's rebirth into the world around her. Strategically battling and retreating, Annie Sullivan fed Helen Keller the universe through her hands. Reawaken yourself to the limitless possibilities of being alive.

About Wheelock Family Theatre:
Wheelock Family Theatre has been the Greater Boston area's premier theatre company serving children and families, with professional, affordable theatre that appeals to people of all ages.
Wheelock Family Theatre creates intergenerational and multicultural productions that provide a shared experience for the whole family. The Theatre realizes the mission of Wheelock College to improve the lives of children and families. Among increasingly few institutions, we are committed to serving and supporting families of all kinds. Indeed, our productions celebrate the diverse range of families found in the world today and seek to unite them in the shared experience of live theatre. We are especially dedicated to those who are historically under-served: people of color, people with disabilities, and low-income families. We know that it is not only children who are "at risk" in our society — but entire families and communities.
Location: Conveniently located on the campus of Wheelock College at 200 The Riverway in Boston, near the museums, Longwood Medical Area, and Fenway Park.
