VERO BEACH — Under the direction of Ben Earman, the Vero Beach Theatre Guild will be hosting open auditions for “The Miracle Worker” on Feb. 16, 17 and 23 at 7 p.m. The show will be performed May 8 through 18.
It is 1887 in Tuscumbia, Ala., and a great miracle is about to take place. The “miracle worker” is a young woman named Annie Sullivan, recently hired by the desperate parents of a deaf-blind child who is violent, spoiled and almost subhuman.
Only Annie realizes there is a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from the dark. The world will later know the child as the brilliant Helen Keller.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script and improvisation exercises especially for those auditioning for the role of Helen Keller.
