Miracle


So this week, my production of The Miracle Worker opens on Thursday night. I always feel bad for the actors in the play because our auditorium holds 1313 people. You can have a 100 people there, but it only fills out the first 7 rows so it feels empty.

This year, we have a new ASL teacher and because The Miracle Worker is the true story of Helen Keller and her teacher Annie Sullivan, she thought having her advanced students interpret the play for the deaf community would be cool.

So, this Friday night, they are going to interpret- and if the word going around is correct, we will have a lot of the deaf community at our show- which is awesome.

KSL TV is also coming out on Tuesday to film our dress rehearsal and interview kids. I have to say, our Helen and Annie are amazing- as is the rest of the cast. I love my lighting and set as well. So, if you're looking for something to do, and you want to cry a little (from happiness- because the ending of this play will get you every time), come on Thursday, Friday, Sat. or Monday night to Riverton High School at 7:00pm and see The Miracle Worker.
