ABOUT
Based on Hellen Keller's autobiography, this incredibly well-written play went on to win multiple Tony Awards including Best Play and Best Performance by a Leading Actress. The name gained even wider recognition after the screen adaptation won Oscars for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. The Kirkwood Players is excited to produce a play with such strong writing, tenacious characters, and a powerful story.
THE TEAM
The Miracle Worker will be directed by Erina Johnson, President of Kp and someone who is deeply passionate about education in the deaf and hearing impaired community. As a child of deaf adults, she grew up very familiar with the story of Helen Keller. Then, at 10 years old, had the opportunity to audition for and accept the role of Helen. This was her first play and the start of a lifetime commitment to theater. She will be aided by Assistant Director and Kp's Artistic Director, Tom Lindsay, Assistant Producer, Erick Sosa, and Technical Director, Allen Kallas.
