Classical Christian Academy to present 'Miracle Worker'

Post Falls Classical Christian Academy's Centurion Drama group is presenting the play "Sketches from The Miracle Worker."

It has been performed twice already, and will be again at 7 tonight and Thursday.

The Centurion Theater is at Classical Christian Academy, 2289 W. Seltice Way.

Tickets are available at the CCA office during the day, or at the door. Tickets are $3 for students, $5 for adults and $15 for a family. Proceeds go to the drama department to help fund future dramas.

"The true story of Helen and Annie reveals a gripping battle to overcome impossible obstacles and the struggle to communicate," according to a press release.

Two seniors play the key parts. Gerry Koep is Annie Sullivan and Emily Roberts is Helen Keller.

Young Helen Keller, blind, deaf, and mute since early infancy by scarlet fever, is in danger of being sent to an institution. Sealed off from the world, Helen cannot relate with anyone, nor anyone with her. Her inability to communicate often sends her into uncontrollable rages and tantrums that terrify her hopeless family. In desperation, her parents seek help and are sent a "half-blind Yankee schoolgirl" named Annie Sullivan to tutor their daughter.

"Sketches" follows in detail the developmental story of Helen as Annie begins to interact and reach into her dark world.

"Sketches" highlights the dynamic collision of these two personalities. Persistence, stubbornness, and sheer love begin to show themselves through Annie in spite of the conflict, confusion, and fear of Helen.
