Presenting an unfamiliar show with
an unfamiliar actress may give a feeling
f uncertainty. But the Lincoln Com
munity Playhouse decided to do it
anyway when they featured "Monday
Alter The Miracle."
The play is st 20 years alter William
Gibson's earlier "The Miracle Worker,"
an award-winning piay or. the life cf
Helen Keller.
The uncertainty was alleviated when
Jcdy Ettiner arrived in Lincoln to play
Helen Keller.
SMner is based in Boston and was
with the National Thericr cf the Deaf
for two years." She' learned sigzi lan
gausge in the company and in perfor
mances, she both signed sad spoke her
own .parts and voiced the parts ofdesf
actresses. She is now working with an
access group in Boston to publish a
guide on how to make theaters access
ible to the physically disabled and to
deaf and blind actors. Steiner also is
working on a guide for listing theaters
that already are accessible to handi
capped and dec! people.
Director Michael Mitchell said that
when the playhouse decided to do the
play in October, two professionals were
considered for the starring role. The
playhouse contacted one of the two
actresses who seemed interested in the
part but eventually declined it
The National Theater cf the Dsif
imisisdiaiely recommended a desf act
ress for the pert, but this didn't pan cut
either. So Mitchell went back to his
first two choices and called Steiner.
She was surprised, but said she gladly
toek the part.

The rest of the east had rehearsed
during December with an understudy
doing Steiner's blocking and lines so
tha ether actors could get a feel for the
play's rhythm. Actor David Landis said
he noted a change in the atmosphere
onstage when Steiner arrr.eil Emo
tional delicacies that coaM criy come
cut rhen an actor understood md fdt
the part were added, as well as natural
things that a deaf and blind person
might do in isteractiens with others all
were brought to tha play by Steiaer,
Landis said.
Steiner said she thinks that theater
and drama chsng3 people's lives, and
commuricatisn Is the key to that.
