Thank you to everyone who attended our auditions. The production staff and I were amazed at the number of interested members and the quality acting that was presented. You did not make my job easy, and my head is still spinning after today. There were tough decisions made and at times I wished I could cast two people in the same role. I am excited to work with everyone apart of our production and know it will be a quality show thanks to your commitment! Thank you for your interest!

WELCOME!!!
Welcome to The Miracle Worker Blog!
“All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.”
Helen Keller
Since I am new to the Barrow Civic Theater an introduction may be in order. I am Rebecca Christie a “transplant” from Chicago Illinois and this is my first direction at BCT. In Chicago I was a Theater and Performing Arts Teacher at an inner city Fine and Performing Arts magnet elementary School. I have been directing since 2004, but mostly with youth. I am very excited about this production and am elated with the interest from theater members!
My experience as an educator has shaped my vision for The Miracle Worker. The goal of the show would be not only to entertain but also educate our audiences. This is especially relevant because of the daytime school performances. I will be providing an education companion packet for the performance to each attending school to enrich their learning experience while attending our production.
The theme of the show would be on our (as members of society) impact on others with special needs and/or handicaps. My vision is that the audience members, youth and adult alike, will walk away with a sense of awareness of how to treat all of society with equality and respect. The same respect that Annie Sullivan gives to Helen, when everyone else will only tolerate her. Those a part of this production will focus not solely on creating empathy for Helen’s character but an inward catharsis for the audience to not only tolerate those with special needs and handicaps, but be aware of how their actions impact these people’s lives. My goal is that after watching our production the audience members will want to have a positive impact on another’s life in any way possible.
Audition information will be coming soon! Since these characters were real people there will be a focus on being true to history and all actors will be required to research their role.
FYI: After the miracle, Helen Keller became a very influential world leader. Helen was an advocate for people with handicaps to gain employment, she was against capital punishment, she protested against child labor, and was a key member in women’s suffrage which gained women a right to vote. Just think if Annie Sullivan did not treat Helen with equality and respect, the impact on our modern day society would be devastating…
I am looking for both male and female actors from ages 7 and up Boys there are roles for you too! There are at least three male roles for boys.
