The Miracle Worker
Ovation’s holiday offering this season is one for every family. Helen Keller’s true and inspirational story comes to life this winter marking Alana Ghent’s directorial debut at Ovation. William Gibson’s classic theatrical masterpiece about a blind, deaf, and mute child taught to communicate by a half-blind Yankee girl is perfect for families at the holiday season.
“The Miracle Worker is a feel-good story about overcoming life’s obstacles to live with passion and richness,” says Ghent.”‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ had a terrific three-season run here at Ovation. This year we want to reach out to the broader community with a story full of inspiration and courage - that’s why we chose to do “The Miracle Worker”.
The December 9th performace will be signed for the hearing impaired.
Ovation Theatre Company appreciates the support of Convergys — Outthinking, Outdoing.
