She hits the ground first and then covers the entire yard in record time, banging on everything she touches the ground, the trees, her own parents and finally her teacher, Annie Sullivan. At that moment, the brat is transformed into Helen Keller.
The kid is kicking and screaming until the moment when she realizes that what was coming out of the pump and what was being spelled into the palm of her hand is connected. Through immersive arts projects such as this one, we seek to educate, entertain, and provide additional opportunities for patrons and performers to share art experiences with their families.Okay - you know the scene from the movie: the water pump, the teacher, who has just been pushed over the edge by the little brat who can neither see, speak or hear, drags her student from the dining table to the water pump to refill the pitcher that the kid has emptied - onto the teacher. Seed Art Share is a local nonprofit theater company dedicated to sharing stories and innovative arts experiences to connect, nurture, and give voice to our communities.

Audio description, sign language interpreting, and alternate walking routes–all specifically designed for this unique production–are ready for any patrons in need of accommodations. The production includes a diverse cast of nearly 20 artists, including a number of promising child actors and the Keller family dog.Īudiences are invited to bring a picnic or purchase concessions in the Borden garden while our porch band, The Shoalsmen, transports us to 1880s Alabama before the show begins.
Rather than watching from a cold distance, patrons are fully present inside the Keller homestead, the Perkins School for the Blind, and even within Annie Sullivan’s subconscious. The action happens in and around the audience, providing for a uniquely immersive and transporting experience. The audience moves throughout the production–retracing the Kellers’ month-long emotional journey–in the beautiful Borden Building and surrounding gardens of Raleigh’s Fred Fletcher Park. In his 1959 play, The Miracle Worker, William Gibson documented the Keller family’s journey out of darkness, thanks to Annie’s disciplined tutelage. The story of young Helen Keller and her tenacious teacher Annie Sullivan has captivated audiences and historians for years.
