THE MIRACLE WORKER
Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
Sept. 7-Oct. 1
West Price Hill
Directed by Greg Procaccino
Cast: Brooke Chamberlin as Helen, Rebecca Whatley as Annie Sullivan, Sarah Viola as Kate, Brent Alan Burington as Keller, Torie Pate as Aunt Ev, Mike Donohoe as James, Tatiana Godfrey as Viney, Joe Hamzy as Percy, Maddi O’Connell as Martha and Bob Allen as Doctor
This classic tells the story of Annie Sullivan and her student, blind and mute Helen Keller. The Miracle Worker dramatizes the volatile relationship between the lonely teacher and her charge. Trapped in a secret, silent world, unable to communicate, Helen is violent, spoiled, almost sub-human and treated by her family as such. Only Annie realizes that there is a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from the dark, tortured silence. With scenes of intense physical and emotional dynamism, Annie’s success with Helen finally comes with the utterance of a single, glorious word: “water.”

PYGMALION Runs Sept. 7-17
PYGMALION
Brookville Community Theatre
Sept. 7-17
Brookville
Directed by Jen Bell
Cast: Mike Henry, John Spitler, Stephanie Bryson, Kenzie Banta, Rebecca Henry, Annie Sayers, William Fortner, Mark Bell, Sherron Henry, Amelia Fortner, Cathy Marquis, Larry Lindstrom, Don Cordes & Larry Henry
A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of the sculptor who falls in love with his perfect female statue, it is also a barbed attack on the British class system of Shaw’s feminist views. In Shaw’s hands, the phoneticist Henry Higgins is the Pygmalion figure who believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into a duchess at ease in polite society. The one thing he overlooks is that his ‘creation’ has a mind of her own. This is the original play that served as the inspiration for the musical, My Fair Lady.
