AUDITION INFORMATION:

  • Open call- no appointment necessary.  Actors should try to arrive as close as possible to the start time of the audition.  Bring a list of potential rehearsal conflicts.
  • Actors will read from the script at the auditions.  Scripts will be available in January for 24 hour perusal at the Center for the Arts, 304 Division Street, Northfield.
  • Girls auditioning for the role of Helen Keller should prepare a 1-2 minute pantomime showing physicality and a range of emotions including, but not necessarily limited to: fear, joy, confusion and anger. The role of Helen is extremely physical; intense rehearsals with both Annie and Helen will include stage combat, stage falls and developing the poignant visuals necessary to show Helen’s inability to see or hear.

The Northfield Arts Guild encourages new people, artists of color, multilingual actors and actors with disabilities to audition.

IMPORTANT INFO:

Rehearsals begin the week of March 5 (with potential time-off during spring break)
Performances are April 21-23 and April 28-30 at the Northfield Arts Guild Theater
Story:  The Miracle Worker is based on Helen Keller’s autobiography, “The Story of My Life.” Blind, deaf, and mute since her formative years, young Helen’s inability to communicate has left her frustrated and violent. In desperation, her parents seek help from the Perkins Institute, which sends them a “half-blind Yankee schoolgirl” tutor named Annie Sullivan. Through persistence, love, and sheer stubbornness, Annie breaks through Helen’s walls of silence and darkness by teaching her to communicate.
