With humanity at its crossroads, facing decisions that will determine whether and how it survives, this tale of a simple miracle speaks directly to our plight. Angela Balogh Calin's costumes and Tom Buderwitz' scenic design lend period authenticity. MacLeod provide gripping atmospheric shading for the edgy emotional landscape of the story.

The cast featured Matthew Modine as Captain Keller, Jennifer. Anagnos, gives credibility to Annie's education and methodology, which fortify her during the rough courtship she experiences with the Kellers. Directed by Kate Whoriskey, the cast starred Alison Pill as Sullivan and Abigail Breslin as Keller. Leigh Miller, as James, and Jeanne Paulsen, as Aunt Ev, add significant depth and complexity to the familial dynamics. John Hutton, as Colonel Arthur Keller, provides a healthy dose of patriarchal inflexability, serving as the principal antagonist to both Annie and his son, James, yet leaves enough wiggle room for genuine hope. Rachel Fowler, as Helen's mother, Kate, is luminescent in her love for the girl, while deeply torn between her husband's and Annie's approaches. Poignant performances heighten the conflicts among the Keller family over the child's care. Geoffrey Kent's staging of the girls' fights brings home the depth of Sullivan's effort in awakening Keller's intelligence. LeGrand, a thirteen year old prodigy, is nothing short of astonishing as the spoiled and untamed seven-year old Helen. Hurster, a third-year graduate student at the center's National Theatre Conservatory, bristles with Sullivan's gritty determination, yet shows painful vulnerability to the voices of Sullivan's childhood demons. Kate Hurster, as Annie Sullivan, and Daria LeGrand, as Helen Keller, go at each other like there's no tomorrow, which is the simple truth for both their characters at this point in their lives. Director Art Manke's cast is pitch-perfect throughout. The power of the play is timeless, as we experience in the Denver Center Theatre Company's stunning production now running at the Space Theatre. The 1962 film won Oscars for Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke. Originally a teleplay that aired in 1957 on CBS's Playhouse 90, the piece was later adapted for the stage and ran for 700 performance on Broadway, beginning in 1959. Helen's extraordinary life serves as an inspiration to millions, many of whom learn about her through William Gibson's play based on her 1903 autobiography, The Story of My Life, and Nella Braddy's 1933 biography, Anne Sullivan Macy. It was Twain who dubbed her a "miracle worker." All this was made possible by Annie Sullivan, a no-nonsense, rough and tumble orphan, half-blind herself. She was the first deaf and blind person to graduate from college (Radcliffe). No less an authority on human behavior than Mark Twain called Keller one of the two most extraordinary persons of the 19th century (the other being Napoleon). Its a shame that such conceptions have removed the expectation of extraordinary events in common people's lives, because, as the story of Helen Keller shows, miracles are, at their most basic level, simply a change in our perception of reality. Kate, what is it? What's happened? Kate, Kate.Mention holidays and miracles in the same breath and most people think of biblical events of cosmic proportions. Men, men and their battle scars we women have. They don't know whether they're cured even when they're cured. We'll have your father run an editorial in his paper: the wonders of modern medicine. I don't see what's so cute about a congestion just cause it's yours. Probably acute congestion with sunken brain procedure. Gibson's original source material was The Story of My Life, the 1903 autobiography of Helen Keller.
