The Tony Award-winning “The Miracle Worker,” is a profoundly moving play that tells the story of Annie Sullivan and her student, Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing at the age of 19 months. With tough love, compassion, and humor, “The Miracle Worker” explores the volatile relationship between a lonely teacher and her headstrong charge in a Great American drama.
“‘The Miracle Worker’ is a powerful theatrical experience,” said director Andrea Zakheim-Poetsch. “It’s a life-affirming story about developing deep, human connections and spectacular accomplishments by overcoming tremendous obstacles. It’s a powerful, exhilarating show.”
Hillary Poetsch and Lydia Snyder play the demanding roles of Annie and Helen. The cast includes many Fool Moon Theatre veterans and some actors new to the company. The cast includes: Guido Battaglini, Alyssa Mills, Kerry Burns, Arcadia Pena, Safia Zakirova, Lisa Weck, Andrew Ireland, Matthew Powals, Tina Holden, Zoe Wells, Carmela Keeper, Lennon Thurlow, Sophia Suthard, Samantha Tafeen, Brett Holden and Aaron Rabinowitz.
Theater veteran Joe Lazarus designed and created the set.
Billie Riggins, an American Sign Language interpreter, will be interpreting the Sept. 22 performance. Riggins has been an educational interpreter in the Vineland public schools since 2004 and has interpreted numerous theatrical performances throughout South Jersey.
