Call Davo, Hnnotto or Brent for an appointment By Beth Aniedco EtsSTEepO'itsr 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.
