Community Theater
May 5th, 2008 . by ErinLast Saturday I had the opportunity to go and see ‘The Miracle Worker’ at the Hale Center Theater in Orem.
This was the blind date I went on Saturday. I was a little apprehensive to accept ‘said’ date, due to the fact that you never know how a person truly feels about you until they set you up on a blind date. Most of the time you come home befuddled as to what you might have done to ‘wrong’ your so-called-friends. Luckily this was not the case this time. I had a really fun time and the guy was really nice.
My friend Joey, who was the one who set me up, was also in the play, which is why I think we went… boy am I glad we did. The play was amazing! It was one of the best adaptations of the ‘Helen Keller’ story I have ever seen. The actors were wonderful especially the ones playing Helen and Anne (the teacher). I was almost moved to tears by the end. This is especially difficult since the only movies or plays I have ever cried at were ‘Dumbo’ (that baby of mine song gets me ever friggin time) and ‘PS I Love You.’
For anyone who lives in the Utah Valley area, I highly recommend ‘The Miracle Worker’. It’ll be showing until May 24th.
I still can’t watch that part of the Dumbo movie without boohooing…and I’ve watched it A LOT more times than you have! Try watching it with kids who ask you every time, “Mom, why are you crying again? You know what the song is!” We are softies
I don’t watch Dumbo… did you ever wonder why we never owned it!
I can’t get through it at all.
Dude, I watched Dumbo again a while ago and I couldn’t believe how I could ever watch that before! I was so traumatized by the sadness!
Thanks for writing this.
