Save the Date! The Miracle Worker, presented by the Spotlight Kids Company

Seven Madison students from third through eighth grade will be performing an abridged version of William Gibson's drama "The Miracle Worker" at The Madison Community House, Friday, June 13th at 5:00pm (notice time change). Admission is free, but donations are accepted to benefit the company's future productions. 

This production of The Miracle Worker, the story of deaf, blind, and mute child Helen Keller and her teacher Anne Sullivan, is family-friendly. The Community House will be the fifth location where the company will be performing. The students have previously performed at Matheny School in Peapack and ECLC of New Jersey in Chatham, and they plan to take the show to Central Avenue School in Madison as well.

The Spotlight Kids Company, a performing arts company founded and stationed in Madison, is a non-profit company created to give younger students an opportunity to strengthen their performing abilities in a professional atmosphere. 

Featured in the Madison Community House performance will be students Peri Munter, Rob Bazaral, Tina Munter, and Luke Bias, all from the Madison Junior School, Poppy Ehrbar from Chatham's Milton Avenue School, Lily O'Hara-Short and Lily Bias of Central Avenue School. The show is directed by Madison High School sophomore Kathryn McManus. There will be a meet-and-greet after the performance where children and parents can speak with the cast and take photos.
