12th Night Production is bringing a holiday classic to life when they recreate the 1948 radio broadcast of Miracle on 34th Street, presented at Kenyon Hall (which of course is on 35th). The play will use "Foley artists" sound effects and the atmosphere of radio studio including the mighty 1929 Wurlitzer pipe organ played by the well known Lou Magor.
The play tells the story of a young girl and her belief in Santa Claus. When an old man named Kris Kringle is hired as the Macy's store Santa, the white bearded gentleman claims to be the real Santa Claus bringing about a genuine miracle with his determination to spread the spirit of Christmas. When the issue winds up in court, a young child's belief could make all the difference.
"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to. Don't you see? It's not just Kris on trial, it's everything he stands for. It's kindness and joy and love all the other intangibles." Charlie Halloran.
The play will be presented Dec. 7,8, 14, 15 and 7:30pm and Dec. 9 and 16 at 3pm
Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors.
