Last Saturday evening we went to Lawrence to see "The Miracle Worker" at the Lawrence community theatre. Ordinarily, we wouldn't have even thought of going but our friend, George, had a small role as the headmaster at Annie Sullivan's school. It turned out to be a very good production - there were some weak points but nothing that made you want to leave. For those that haven't seen the play or the movie, it is the story of how Annie Sullivan was able to get through to Helen Keller who was blind, deaf and dumb. The playbill bio for George was cute - there isn't a lot of thespian activity in his background but it mentioned that he had been an extra in "North Country".
