1982 Miracle Yearbook

THE MIRACLE WORKER The 1981 production presented by the Village Players was William Gibson's "The Miracle Worker."The story told of the early childhood of blind, deaf-mute Helen Keller and her experiences with her teacher Annie Sullivan. Under strict disci- pline Annie transformed the once unruly and untamed Helen into a serene and pa- tient child, though not without any difficul- ty. The story taught that consistency and persistence are very important in raising children, whether they are handicapped or not.
