Coming this October, Masconomet Regional High School Theatre Company, directed by Brian Pereira, is proud to announce The Miracle Worker! This emotional and inspiring play follows the story of Helen Keller, a blind and deaf child from the late 1800s, and her teacher, Anne Sullivan, who is known as "Annie" in the play. This show stars Quinn Tierney as Annie Sullivan, Campbell Robinson as Helen Keller, Daniel Spofford as Captain Keller, Katherine Caulfield as Kate Keller, Riley Campbell as James Keller, and Julia White as Aunt Ev. The show dates will be October 19th -21st, with two 7 pm shows, and a final matinee at 2 pm. All shows will be performed at Masconomet in the auditorium. Tickets will be sold as we get closer to the show, and at that, time the ticket link will be available via the @masconomettheatre Instagram page. Tickets will also be sold on the day of the show in front of the auditorium, but we only have a limited amount of seating so buy yours quickly!

While there are no pictures to advertise The Miracle Worker yet, Masconomet Theatre

has put on some amazing pieces in past years. In the fall of 2022, we performed the 1920s

musical Chicago, which sold out the entire auditorium! Chicago followed the story of two girls

just trying to find their way into the jazz scene, while also being caught up in murder cases as

they go. We also had an adjudicator come to this show, who gave us wonderful feedback as to

what we could do better, and what we were already doing well with. He even entered some of

our cast members for METG (Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild) All-Star Cast awards,

and nine students received them for this show. I’ll say that being a part of this musical was one of my favorite experiences in theatre; the music, the costumes, the choreography, and even just the lighting vibes were amazing!

In the winter of 2022 and into the new year of 2023, Masconomet upped its theatre

game by entering the METG Festival with a 40-minute play called Women and Wallace.

This play followed the story of a character named Wallace, who struggled to find their place after their mother tragically took her life when they were only a child. The METG Festival was a life-changing experience for the entire company; we all became so much closer and

found even more love for theatre than we thought we ever could. The festival included a

multitude of high schools from across Massachusetts, who each brought a 40-minute comedy or drama to the stage to compete. It started in a preliminary round, where your company would

travel to a host school and be evaluated by the judges to see if you would move on. Then it was

the semi-finals, and finally, there were states in Boston. Though it was only Masconomet’s first

year participating in the festival, we were able to make it to the States, meaning we were

in the top twelve. It was an experience I’ll never forget.
