Actor Sheryl Fae will portray Helen Keller, “Champion of the Disabled,” next weekend at the Saugus Public Library

(Editor’s Note: The following info is from a press release the Saugus Public Library issued this week.)

The New Friends of the Saugus Public Library welcome back actor Sheryl Faye in Helen Keller: Champion of the Disabled. Fae will perform in the Community Room of the Saugus Public Library from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28. The show is 45 minutes with questions.

The program is written from Helen’s mind’s eye. The story is told on a taped voice-over as Helen reenacts her full life from her childhood through her discovery of language when she was seven years old to the writing of her 12 books. She will show the audience how she speaks and reads in Braille, and her story continues through her graduation from college. This is one of our most unique, very special programs which helps us to understand and accept the different ways people do the same things and inspires them to be the best they can be with the talents they possess.

Space is limited so registration is required. Register online at
