Love teaches tsightt What?! A play where the main character can't see, can't hear, and can't talk? Is everyone going to sit around like zombies? Definitely not? The production, The Miracle Worker, tells the story of Helen Kel- ler tDawn Soltit, a deaf, dumb, blind girl. Though Captain Keller Uack Warrem thinks the girl is hopeless, Katy Heller tCheryl Brunet manages to get a teacher for her. Through great trial and error, An- nie Sullivan tLaura DiDonatot teaches the girl basic manners. It takes a small food fight and moving to the garden-house, but Helen learns. And until that final, touching moment when Helen hugs Annie, the audi- ence was held spellbound. But who could ever forget the little things that happened at the rehears- als? Jack Warren became famous for the line, Hand me your kate, Platie. And remember when the wa- ter pump used to drown the first three rows of the audience? And how many people was it who fell off the stage? Due to kidney problems, Mr Moore, the director, was hospitalized just two days before the play was to be presented. And when he did show up just in time, Dawn and Cheryl nearly put him back in the hospital, they were so happy to see him. Cheryl summed up the rehearsals by saying, When we started practic- ing, it ended up in a comedy. Dawn also said, That play was really neat. No, that play was really different! It's a mmule? Awed by Annie's arcompllsh- ments with Helen, katy Keller LChcryI Brunm consoles Helen Fall Play 21
