The Miracle Worker, The Play.
Based on a letter written by Annie Sullivan in 1887 and Helen Keller's own autobiography, William Gibson wrote a compelling drama from factual events, an inspirational work about the "miracle" of Annie teaching Helen language. This emotional and vivid play became a huge hit, an Oscar-winning movie and is considered an AMerical Theatre classic.
What is Literature Live!?
LITERATURE LIVE! brings the power of the word from the page to the stage. Using curriculum-based literature, Bay Street Theatre creates a unique learning experience by bringing professional theatre artists together to present first class productions. The possibilities for insight and understanding of the subject matter are only increased when students can witness the characters from a great play or novel living and breathing and telling their stories right before their eyes.
Why is it appropriate for schools?
Bay Street Theatre will select standards-based literature, and this program will be supported with teacher-developed lesson plans and reference materials. In addition, we will provide a "Q&A" session with the cast.
Who should attend?
LITERATURE LIVE! is designed specifically with middle and high school age students, their teachers and administrators in mind. In addition, Bay Street Theatre will present the play on weekends for family audiences, and other types of groups (such as seniors, churches, and temples) who may wish to attend.

"I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful performance that was yesterday. It was one of the most powerful shows I've seen in a long while!" -Theatergoer Review
The Story
In 1946, Dutch historian Dr. Jan Romein said "This apparently inconsequential diary by a child, this "de profundis" stammered out in a child's voice, embodies all the hideousness of fascism, more so than all the evidence of Nuremberg put together." Her chronicle of 25 months spent in hiding during the Holocaust has moved readers and audiences alike, not just because of her beautiful prose and compelling story but because of her passionate hope for a better tomorrow.
Anne Frank, The Play.
The Play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett is a stage adaptation of the book. The story, which made its debut in 1956, won both a Tony award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for drama. This riveting play about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed space above a warehouse allows audiences to feel their claustrophobic existence, their hopes, their fears and their indomitable will to survive.
