A classic drama of courage and communication

Blind, deaf and mostly mute, six-year-old Helen Keller was pitied and coddled by her family, so spoiled that she terrorized the household with tantrums and tricks. Then Anne Sullivan arrived, barely 20 years old, holding the key that would unlock the door between Helen and the world. This Tony Award-winning play is a lyrical, profoundly moving story of courage and communication, and a testament to the powerful influence of dedicated teachers.

Based in part on Keller’s own memoirs and told with great warmth by William Gibson, The Miracle Worker is an uplifting drama that’s perfect for the whole family to share.

Mainstage at the Loretto-Hilton Center, February 11–March 8, 2009

A young woman on trial in Shaw’s masterpiece

A simple country girl who claims to hear divine voices and appears to produce miracles with ease declares her holy mission to drive the English from 15th century France and to crown the reluctant Dauphin as king. With staggering confidence and unshakable faith, she wages a battle that threatens the very fabric of society and the church, for which she will pay with her life. Shaw’s masterpiece of provocative political thinking is witty, tempestuous and potently dramatic.

Saint Joan, the epic true story of a strong, inspiring woman, centuries ahead of her time and caught between the forces of the church and the law, is both fiercely poetic and wonderfully accessible. Don’t miss The Rep’s first production of this incredible work—featuring some of our audience’s favorite actors and a few new friends—in 20 years!

Mainstage at the Loretto-Hilton Center, January 7–February 1, 2009
