It\u2019s the story of how Helen<br \/>\nKeller (played by Madison Gilbert), blind and deaf from infancy, prevails<br \/>\nagainst overwhelming obstacles with the help of her teacher Annie Sullivan<br \/>\n(played by Christina Cornevin).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Once I knew only darkness and stillness&#8230;my life was without past or<br \/>\nfuture&#8230; but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand<br \/>\nthat clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.\u201d<br \/>\nIn her own words, Helen Keller captures the inspirational heart of William<br \/>\nGibson\u2018s classic American play. Between the emptiness and the rapture,<br \/>\nthough, came a fierce struggle of wills, with Helen, in her darkness and<br \/>\nstillness, on one side, and the determined Annie Sullivan on the other, a<br \/>\nyoung woman who had endured a lifetime of pain in just twenty years.<br \/>\nGibson\u2018s text is unsparing and unflinching in its depiction of their<br \/>\nconfrontation and mutual triumph. In its long history, CATS has never<br \/>\npresented The Miracle Worker.<\/p>\n<p>CATS Producing Director, Merri Brewer, states, \u201cI chose the play to open our<br \/>\nseason for its depiction of human persistence. It also reminds us that<br \/>\nmiracles don&#8217;t just happen. They are a lot of work!\u201d Sharon Veselic will<br \/>\ndirect and states, &#8220;This play is a bold choice for CATS; it\u2019s challenging,<br \/>\nand the story will uplift the families that come to see it and the themes<br \/>\nwill resonate for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Miracle Worker will be interpreted by non-certified, student<\/em><br \/>\n<em> interpreters Lindsey Graham and Mark Wylie from Tarrant County College on<\/em><br \/>\n<em> October 21, Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. The play is recommended for<\/em><br \/>\n<em> audiences aged 8+.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tickets are only $10 for adults; $8 for students (ages 4+), military, and<br \/>\nseniors (ages 55+).
