MIRACLE WCDRKER West High's spring play, The Miracle Worker was a rewarding experience for all involved. The performances were April 3rd and 4th. Many of the actors and actresses had to learn howto speak with a southern accent, and one fed. note.: Kelli Jo Kerry? had to mas- ter the difficult Irish accent. Jenny Brown, '87, played the deaf-blind 6-year old Helen Keller. Kelli Kerry had the title role of Annie Sulli- van. In the play, Annie had to face the near impossible task of teaching Helen. Her chal- lenge was further complicated by Helen's parents, played by Lisa Hoelzer, and Lars Neg- stad. An excellent set added to the quality of performance. -Lars Negstad The Miracle Worker Ccastl Capt.
