The Miracle Worker, a play by William Gibson, is as much Annie Sullivan's story as it is Helen Keller's. Annie's belief that Helen Keller could and would learn language through the means of sign language is a remarkable story of courage and perseverance. Presented by the Ozark Adventist Academy Drama class, The Miracle Worker will be performed at 7 p.m. on Feb. 2 in the OAA Auditorium. Tickets are $5 and are available at the door.
