New Stage Theatre brings the story of Helen Keller, based on her autobiography, “The Story of My Life,” and the relationship with her teacher Anne Sullivan to life. From a world of silence and darkness to one filled with possibilities and hope, Keller, an eventual Medal of Freedom winner, and her relationship with her teacher offer life lessons to the audience they won’t soon forget.
