Actress Alison Pill shares her experience about her role in "The Miracle Worker"

In "The Miracle Worker," actress Alison Pill is flexing a new muscle or rather, several. As teacher Annie Sullivan, she pushes and shoves her way into the sealed-off world of Helen Keller, teaching language to the blind and deaf child played by Abigail Breslin in a Broadway revival opening March 3. Ms. Pill, a 24-year-old from Toronto and a 2006 Tony Award nominee for "The Lieutenant of Inishmore," recently appeared in HBO's "In Treatment" and the 2008 film "Milk."
