Cast of The Miracle Worker presents Above: Seated around the dining room table, the Keller family, with their newly acquired teacher, bows in prayer. Below: Cradling Helen in her arms, Kate cries out in disbelief when Helen at last under- stands the relationship of wordsand objects. Bruised knees, a broken tooth, exhausting scenes, and grueling hours of practice ... a devoted cast and crew . . . and the near- professional portrayals of Annie Sullivan, Helen Keller, and Mrs. Keller by Liz Teetor, Sue Dayton, and Jill Armstrong combined to make this year ' s senior play the most superb performance Snider has ever seen. William Gibson ' s highly emotion- al drama, The Miracle Worker, is the story of Helen Keller ' s struggle, as a deaf, blind, and mute child, to overcome these barriers and exper- ience the gift of language and un- derstanding. Through the untiring patience of Annie Sullivan, her teacher, Helen finally emerges from her darkened, mysterious world when she first associates the word water with the substance itself. Above: Following an argument with his father, Scott Woodings as James Keller accepts his stepmother ' s offer of friendship. 18
