Wow. Don’t miss this extraordinary production!
Get your tickets and mark your calendar now!
The Miracle Worker opened at the (click here) Denver Center for the Performing Arts last night with a dazzling performance by 13 year old Daria LeGrand, an already accomplished actress who was brought in from Kansas City Repertory Theatre. Helen Keller was originally played on Broadway and in the movie by Patty Duke.
The role of Annie Sullivan, opposite 13-year old Patty Duke by young Anne Bancroft is Kate Hurster from the National Theatre Conservatory with a phenominal performance that might have even outshone the Keller performance, with two such brilliant stars it is all but impossible to know for sure.
The staging, music, and moving performances by the entire cast results in inspiration that is so much needed in these difficult times. What’s a financial crisis compared to what Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller faced and overcame?
Anyone with a family member facing a difficult trial will find powerful medicine: Hope.
You’ll leave the theatre looking forward to tomorrow!
Mark Twain originally called Annie Sullivan the miracle worker, and Annie was connected to the Keller family by Alexander Graham Bell I learned from the very useful InsideOUT which is available for free at the Patron Services desk.
The Bible gives me a deep, comforting sense that ‘things seen are temporal and things unseen are eternal.’ Helen Keller
To love and succeed is a fine thing, to love and fail is the next best, and the best of all is to fail and yet keep on loving. Annie Sullivan

Jack’s Back!
Jack, star of the television show 24, who’s Batman, James Bond, and Superman rolled into one, will be back on the Fox Network, Sunday, Nov. 23rd. Check your local listings for times. It’s a “don’t miss.” http://www.fox.com/24/redemption/
Quantum of Solace
Well, this movie doesn’t fall into the “don’t miss” category.
While the movie follows suit with the handsome, take no prisoners, new James Bond character Daniel Craig, the quantum of solace story never surfaces in the movie. It’s buried underneath all of the rubble of bombed out buildings, cars, bridges, and sour expressions.
The movie needed a shaken—not—stirred martini.
