Description

Explore the boundaries of the senses as we venture inside this true story of young Helen Keller, who was blind, deaf, and struggling to connect. Her teacher, Annie Sullivan, is our courageous guide to reach Helen’s isolation and bring her into contact with the outside world.

The mission of Prime Stage is to bring great literature to life through the transformative process of live theatre – to entertain, inform, enrich and inspire audiences with engaging programs that deliver long-lasting benefits to the students, educators, youth, families and theatregoers of our region.

Prime Stage Theatre is committed to providing an environment that is inclusive and welcoming to all patrons.

With our sensory-inclusive performance the last Saturday of each production at 2:30, we provide a social story with pre-theater preparatory activities for the person with a sensory, social, or learning disability so the person begins to understand and anticipate what might happen at a performing arts experience.

The last Sunday of each performance we offer Audio Description for the blind and visually impaired, along with signed interpreted and real time live caption for patrons who are deaf or have hearing loss.

The theatre facility provides hearing devices for all performances and is wheelchair accessible.

Please identify any special seating needs to our Box Office staff when reserving your tickets in advance on-line or by calling Prime Stage Public Performance Box Office at the New Hazlett 412.320.4610.
