‘Miracle Worker’ already a miracle for Interplayers

“The Miracle Worker” hasn’t even opened yet — it previews tonight (Thursday) and opens Friday — yet it is already setting ticket records for the Interplayers Professional Theatre.

It has sold more  first-week tickets than any show in Interplayers history and some performances are sold out. It will likely be extended at least another week, to May 29.

The reason? Patty Duke, of course. She won an Oscar and a Tony for “The Miracle Worker” and now, for the first time, she is directing it. It’s making national theater news.

You, too, can take a gander at that Oscar and Emmy. They’ll be on display in the theater’s Gellhorn Gallery.

For tickets, call (509) 455-PLAY or go to TicketsWest.
