Magnus Theatre Presents:
Miracle on 34th Street
Dec 7-23
At Macy's department store Christmas is big business. By chance they've hired Kris as this year's Santa Claus.
His unconventional ways unleash waves of goodÂwill that turn Macy's and the commercial world of New York City upside down. A Christmas classic for more than 70 years, this story of triumph of faith over greed, goodwill over commercialism is as relevant and meaningful as ever.
Can one nice old man with whiskers change the lives of a world-weary mother, her little girl and all of New York City?
