December 8 - January 18, 2016
Alder Stage

By William Gibson
Directed by Dámaso Rodríguez

One of the most triumphant stories of the human spirit ever told, the soul-stirring The Miracle Worker evokes hope and inspiration for the entire family. With dignity, perseverance and respect in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, a child, a teacher and a family learn to communicate. A play based on the lives of Helen Keller, who became DeafBlind as an infant, and her teacher, Anne Sullivan, who enabled her to become one of the most influential women of the 20th Century.

“A victory of the human spirit and a tale of redemption — a true one — unfold here, and give us something bright and warm to take home for the holidays. It’s a time of the year for miracles, and this heartwarming work makes us feel that they just may be possible.”

Holly Johnson, The Oregonian

“…it will leave you with a profound feeling of the power of language and of the resilience of the human spirit.”
