BY QEDC It's In Queens
It’s not easy, but it’s so powerful and educational. The Miracle Worker is at Queens Theatre from May 12 through May 21. In this play, dedicated teacher Annie Sullivan struggles to reach a young Helen Keller, the blind/deaf author and political activist who lived in Forest Hills for more than 20 years. Sullivan realizes that she must also struggle with a domineering father, a heartbroken mother, and a resentful brother. Shows are May 12, 8 pm; May 13 & 20, 2 pm & 8 pm; May 14 & 21, 3 pm; and May 18, 2 pm.
