‘The Miracle Worker’ Opens Friday at Community Theatre

The Westport Community Theatre beginning Friday presents “The Miracle Worker,” the Tony Award-winner for Best Play and dramatic story of a young Helen Keller. Performances are through Dec. 13 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and at 2 p.m. on Sundays, with a Thursday performance on Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $23, $21 for seniors and students, and can be purchased at http://www.westportcommunitytheatre.com or by calling (203) 226-1983. The Westport Community Theatre is located at Westport Town Hall, 110 Myrtle Ave. Pictured are Emma LaPlace as Annie Sullivan and Nora Watson as Helen Keller, who lived in Easton not far from the Westport town line. This led some biographies and even The New York Times to say erroneously that she died in Westport. (See WestportNow June 1, 2003) (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
