"I predicted that blocking would be our trickiest task, striving to communicate Helen's deaf and blind character without falling into a comedic rhythm … it was daunting, and our cast has done such a phenomenal job at bringing out the misery of Helen, the frustration of the Kellers and the liberation of Annie's 'miracle.'" "We had to creatively work the script to reflect our female-heavy cast, but it unfolded seamlessly," Shaw said. There were several challenges of "The Miracle Worker" at Westminster - the initial roadblock was casting a production of four to five male leads with not enough boys auditioning. "It has been a challenging undertaking, but our select 12-student cast is doing an exceptional job at bringing it to life." "This production features stage combat (a technique to create the illusion of physical combat without causing harm to the performers), sign language and relational depth," she added.
