Auditions for The Miracle Worker

Center Stage Jackson announces auditions for the play The Miracle Worker to be directed by Denise Weber. Auditions will take place on Monday and Tuesday, December 10^th and 11^th from 6:30 p.m. through 8:30 p.m. at the administration building by the circular drive at the Middle School at Parkside, 2400 Fourth St., Jackson, Michigan. Production dates are March 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16 with two daytime assemblies on the 13^th and 14^th. All will take place in the auditorium at the Middle School at Parkside.

The Miracle Worker tells the story of blind, deaf and mute Helen Keller, whose dark world is opened by her teacher, Annie Sullivan, who had been born blind, but gained her sight after operations on her eyes. Helen is spoiled and almost animal like, as her family has not known how to get through to her. Annie teaches her, not only manners, but the gift of communication, opening up the world to Helen’s curious mind. A stirring dramatization packed with emotions.

The cast includes 7 males ranging in age from 10 - 70 and 7 females ranging in age from 6 - 70. All ethnicities are encouraged to audition, as racial diversity is prevalent in this play. For more details check out the CSJ website.

The March 7th performance will be interpreted for the deaf and the March 9th performance will be interpreted for the deaf, as well as the deaf/blind. For information regarding the deaf/blind interpretations, as well as the auditions, please contact Denise Weber at 517.841.2287.
