Seeking Kids for "The Miracle Worker" Show
"The Miracle Worker" Show is looking for young performers. Please see the details below. About the project: Immortalized on screen by Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, this Tony Award-winning play is the story of Annie Sullivan and her student, Helen Keller, 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 scenes of intense physical and emotional struggle, Helen's breakthrough finally arrives with the utterance of a single, glorious word: "water." Additional info: Auditions will be held by “cold reading,” so there’s nothing to prepare, but familiarity with the show can be helpful. WHEN WILL REHEARSALS BE HELD? Rehearsals will begin Monday, August 18, 2025, and will generally run Monday-Friday, 6:30-9 PM. Adjustments may be made according to the needs of the cast. WHAT DATES WILL THE SHOW RUN?
