The Miracle Worker

If you’re making your way through small-town Alabama, be sure to add a stop in Tuscumbia for The Miracle Worker play at Ivy Green. Performed under the stars at Helen Keller’s birthplace, this is one of those experiences that sticks with you long after the curtain falls.

The grounds at Ivy Green are beautiful in the summer, and there’s something magical about walking them after sunset, when the air is cooler, the cicadas are humming, and the history feels a little closer. 🌙✨

The play tells the story of Annie Sullivan and her student, Helen Keller, a young girl who was blind and deaf. It’s an intense, moving retelling of their struggles, their breakthroughs, and the moment Helen finally understands that water — the cool stream trickling through her fingers — has a name.

This isn’t just any performance; it’s Alabama’s official state outdoor drama, and it’s performed right where the real story happened. If you’ve never seen it, this is the summer to change that! 🎟️🌳
