Immortalized onstage and screen by Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, 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. Trapped in a secret, silent world, unable to communicate, Helen 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. With scenes of intense physical and emotional dynamism, Annie’s success with Helen finally comes with the utterance of a single, glorious word: “water”.

Spotlight Theatre is delighted to have the opportunity to present performances and is committed to doing so with appropriate COVID 19 health safeguards.Spotlight fully supports all measures available including masks and vaccines to reduce transmission of disease and to keep people healthy.

Ticket prices alone will not cover improvements that will enhance your theater experience. We are coming to you to ask for some help in upgrading some of our audio and lighting equipment. It takes a lot of money just to keep the doors open with rent, royalties, sets, and props, and often critical infrastructure goes unfunded. We have an aging lighting system that needs some attention and an audio mixing board that needs to be replaced sooner rather than later.

Can you help us with a donation to achieve our goal of $1500? As a 501 (C) 3 not for profit organization, donations are fully tax deductible.

With your donation, we can continue to produce quality community theater events like Junie B. Jones Jr., The Wedding Singer, A Few Good Men and Sylvia.
We have a few more shows to present this season and are working on a great 2022-2023 season to be announced soon!
