Helen

The Story of my Life by Helen Keller is an autobiography that recounts Helen's experiences as she adjusts to the world as a blind and deaf person. Helen begins the story by describing her earliest memories of sights and sounds and her memory of contracting the illness that resulted in her deafness and blindness.

“Helen" is about the moment that we all dream: when we tear up unexpectedly because something we've just seen or heard ignites our deepest desires of accomplishment. This play is often mistaken for the story of Helen Keller. It is not. This is a period in the life of Anne Sullivan. She could have never known that a baby's illness, hundreds of miles away, would change her life forever and direct her future steps. All plays, whether based on fact or fiction, have a covert meaning. It is up to the individual to draw what they will from this look at a few short weeks in one young woman's life. When you come to the show look around, there are miracle workers in your presence.
