My little sister is Helen in this, it is directed by Patty Duke!

[fisteberg]

@mymoko1 Your sister is a good actress.She played helen with talent and is convincing.But i think helen's parents are not as convincing.Annie's actress is great in this drama too.

[mymoko1]

@fisteberg It was a fantastic show. My little blondie loved doing it. May I ask where you saw the show?

[fisteberg]

@mymoko1 I just discovered it on internet by pure hazard .But your sister acts very good.She's a talented Helen.

What play are you doing now? After I finish directing "The Miracle Worker" I will be directing a teen drama I wrote. It goes on in July at a Fringe Festival.

@cblearn I'm currently in the middle of a production of the play "Red Herring" by Michael Hollinger! It's a really funny play about murder, communist spies, and marriage!

[cblearn]

Thanks, Mike! I did some looking and found the music. It called "The Mission". I'm directing this play. I think I will use the same piece of music.

Sondra

PS- Any plans to put 2nd half of play on? I've looked at almost every stage production on Youtube and Strawberry Players is the best in my opinion. I would love to see how they played the last scene where the miracle occurs.

[MikeVov]

@cblearn I had to leave for college and I have no way of getting the footage onto my laptop at the moment, but when I'm home again, I'm going to try to finish putting it up!

So look for more parts in by next month! It all depends on when I get done with the play that I'm working on now! And thanks for the compliment! We work really hard to bring quality entertainment to our community!

[cblearn]

I love the music playing under the credits. What music is it?

[MikeVov]

@cblearn It's a piece by Ennio Morricone from one of the movies that he scored, but I can't remember which one for the life of me!

[IsThisTourettes]

woop woop, i play annie sullivan in our production!! im so exitedd!!!

[MusicFeedsYourSoul]

@IsThisTourettes Congratulations! I'm auditioning today too.

[Xpierd]

SORRY BUT THIS SUCKs!!!!!

a blind person don't look up?

[MegaPandagal]

@Xpierd Yes, many blind people do look "up". Before I performed as Helen in my school play (OCS High school), I did lots of research on how blind people's eyes look. Most of the videos I found show people looking slightly "upwards", so this Helen did very well. Please do your own research before you bash someone's else's performance.

[uglybetty49]

My school is doing the play And I got the role of helen keller

[dht23]

@uglybetty49 wow congrats! that must be hard! I just did the water scene at the end for my skool's festival of one act plays and scenes and I played Annie, my friend who played helen said it was really hard. how was/is it for you?

[uglybetty49]

@dht23 no not really, at least not for me, but everyone is different.

[pyskepper]
