*The role of Captain Keller has been precast.
**The role of Annie Sullivan requires an actress who is proficient in ASL.

Available roles include:
Blind, deaf and mute, HELEN KELLER is a little girl with limited outlets for communication with the outside world.

KATE KELLER is near the end of her rope in caring for Helen. Often more concerned with appeasing Helen than attempting to teach her.

While no one can fully identify with Helen’s unique set of limitations, ANNIE SULLIVAN may come the closest, having once been blind herself. She has led a difficult life and she knows what could be in store for Helen if she cannot learn to behave and to communicate with those around her.

Son to the Captain and stepson to Kate, JAMES just can’t seem to fit in with the Keller household.

A true Southern matron, AUNT EV seems to have an opinion on just about everything.

PERCY and MARTHA are both playmates for Helen and servants for the Keller family.

A mentor for Annie, ANAGNOS serves as the warm, reassuring voice for her when she feels backed into a corner.

A concerned member of the Keller clan, servant VINEY is close to the action.
