This was the theme around which the Miracle Worker revolved. The play, sponsored by the Thespians, was presented to capacity audiences on both nights that it was held. The newly-completed lighting system enabled the cast to make use of special-effect lights, including simulated moonlight and a shadowy, fuzzy light used for dream light. Thespians' Miracle V orker The Miracle Worker is the poignant story of Helen Keller's struggle not only to learn howto speak, but to live a happy, normal life. The cast, directed by Mr. Lynn Myers and stu- dent director Kathy Schomers, in- cluded Le Ann Pauley as Helen Keller, Mark Sorensen and Diane Caudill as Captain and Mrs. Keller, and Ioyce Schornhorst as Anne Sullivan. Supporting actors were E gt ., Kent Larson, Linda Wigg, Mary Kenkel, Tim Klein, Tim Grimsley, Iudy Haber, Kathy Early, Beccy Greiner, Barb Gruenwald, Randy Henriksen, and Tim Greiner. Actors and the stage crew put many hours of work into making the play the success it was. They were rewarded well by a standing ovation and a sense of pride at having done so good a job.
