tone,” made her Carnegie Hall debut at
Weill Recital Hall in March 2007. The

“responsive accompanist” and an “ideal

Written by William Gibson and directed

play is the story of Helen Keller's
childhood education, which won him the
Tony Award for Best Play. Young Helen,
blind, deaf, and mute since infancy, is
in danger of being sent to an
institution. Her inability to
communicate has left her frustrated and
violent. In desperation, her parents
seek help from the Perkins Institute,
which sends them a "half-blind Yankee
schoolgirl" named Annie Sullivan to
tutor their daughter. Through
persistence and love, and sheer
stubbornness, Annie breaks through
Helen's walls of silence and darkness.
