PINEHURST, N.C. -- He was one of America’s biggest heartthrobs back in the 1980’s, the star of some of the biggest shows to grace our television screens. From Dynasty to spin-off The Colby’s, Golden Globe nominated actor John James was the king of primetimedrama.  And now he’s bringing his talents to the stage, in Judon Theatre Company’s much anticipated production of The Miracle Worker.

Based on the incredible true story of Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan, the Tony Award winning play has kept running strong for generations, resonating with theatergoers young and old. Blind, deaf and mute since childhood, Keller is frustrated and unable to communicate with the world, until a tutor is brought it and miraculously finds a way.
