SUMMARY:Copy of Miracle on 34th Street
DESCRIPTION:Miracle on 34th Street is a heartwarming holiday classic about the kind and cheerful Kris Kringle\, hired to play Santa Claus at a New York City department store. When Kris insists that he truly is Santa\, his claim is met with skepticism\, especially by Doris Walker\, a practical single mother\, and her doubting daughter Susan. When Kris’ identity and sanity are called into question\, the question becomes bigger than whether he is really Santa: Can people still find room for faith\, hope\, and goodwill in our commonsense world. A cherished classic for over 75 years\, Miracle on 34th Street is a heartwarming story about believing in the impossible\, the power of kindness\, and the magic of Christmas. Santa Claus is coming to town\, but this year he’s here to prove it! Do you Believe? Performances are November 26-27 at 7:30pm and November 28-29 at 2:00pm Doors open 20 minutes before each performance. Theatre Wellesley uses general seating\, so seating is first come\, first choice. Pictures with Santa will be available in the lobby before each show (watch our social media for times).
