The “Miracles” Begin

Once again, PCA’s fall theatre production has begun! “The Miracle Worker” tells the story of the blind and deaf Helen Keller, and how her teacher Annie Sullivan opens the world up to her. Auditions for this play took place on August 28th, with callbacks occurring the following week. The show is now cast and rehearsals are underway.

Jessica Mayes, stage manager for the show, is excited about the production. “I am really looking forward to the final product,” said Mayes. “There is something so exhilarating about seeing the curtain open and hearing the audience applaud or laugh at a joke I’ve heard hundreds of times. I am there for everything – from the first audition to closing night – and it is wonderful to see it all come together and know that all of our hard work paid off.”

Performances of “The Miracle Worker” will be on November 6th, 7th, and 8th. Save those dates and come to witness the impossible and inspiring story of the young Helen Keller’s journey.
