Abigail Breslin is starring in Circle In the Square's new production of The Miracle Worker, set to open on March 3, 2010. It will be staged in the round, according to Playbill. She's got to be hitting this role before she's too old to play it. It's a female child actor rite of passage. I wonder if we'll see her play Annie Sullivan in 15 years. Alison Pill (Milk) will play Sullivan.
This is neither here nor there, but I played Dr. Anagnos (Sullivan's mentor) once back in middle school. No one else knew what a Greek accent sounded like, much less could do one.
