Every summer, people from around the world come to Tuscumbia to watch William Gibson’s play, “The Miracle Worker” in the outdoor theatre on the grounds of Ivy Green, the home of Helen Keller. The inspiring play dramatizes the efforts of Anne Sullivan to open the world of communication to her deaf and blind student Helen Keller.

The play is Alabama’s “Official Outdoor Drama” and has been recognized numerous times by the Southeast Tourism Society as a Top 20 Event in the Southeast and by the American Bus Association as a Top 100 Event in the United States.

The Play runs six weeks each summer on Friday and Saturday evenings. 2024 play dates are: June 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29, and July 12, 13, 19, 20. Access to the grounds is available at 7pm with Play beginning promptly at 8pm. Free parking. You may purchase tickets by calling the Helen Keller Home at 256-383-4066.
