Fall MainStage

The Miracle Worker
by William Gibson
(Joint production with Erin Stage Co.)

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. Helen, trapped in her secret world, 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.

For Heaven’s Sake!
a musical revue
Book & lyrics by Helen Kromer • Music by Frederick Silver

Songs, sketches and connecting material which communicate the meaning of the
Gospel in the most contemporary terms. "Hilarious and hard hitting by turns,
saucy and sobering"-- the revue addresses itself to "Little Man" who is "having his fling
at playing the role of the Almighty King." Man's idolatrous condition is then
satirically explored through production numbers. First presented in Ann Arbor,
Michigan and earned a standing ovation. It was subsequently produced in New York City
and has been recorded and televised. Reviewed in the Christian Century, it has been
acclaimed by both the clergy and laity.

Summer Family Show

 Anne of Green Gables
Dramatized by Joseph Robinette

This dramatization captures the charm and excitement of L.M. Montgomery's
enduring classic about an orphan girl, Anne Shirley, from her first encounter with
her austere guardian to her thrilling graduation from Queen's Academy. The play faithfully
recreates the memorable events and characters from the brilliant novel. Whether the
playgoer is an "old friend" of Anne's or meeting her for the first time, this play will
solidify a lasting friendship between the audience and one of literature's
most unforgettable characters.
