By William Gibson

Directed by Susan Gregg

2008-2009 Mainstage series
February 11, 2009–March 8, 2009


The Story

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.
