Town & Country Players will be closing out their “Summer in the Park”series with the Tony Award-winning show, The Miracle Worker, which tells the true story of blind and deaf Helen Keller and her remarkable teacher Annie Sullivan. Annie, the unlikely Miracle Worker, fights to reach Helen and bring light to her darkness. It takes all of Annie’s patience, creativity and firmness of spirit to bring about the transformation of Helen, the trapped wild creature, into Helen, the brilliant and communicative child. All ages will be inspired by this story of perseverance and triumph of the human spirit.
