Set in New York City, Miracle on 34th Street, the play is a heartwarming holiday classic that follows the journey of Kris Kringle (Robert Lovitz), an older man released from a retirement home, who gets a job working as Santa Claus for Macy’s holiday season.
Doris Walker (Ariel Puls), a single mother who works at the same Macy’s, doesn’t want her daughter, Susan (Georgia Krugel), to believe in any romantic notions about Santa. Complications arise when neighbor and lawyer Fred Gayley (Conor Eifler) tries to win Doris over by taking Susan to see Santa Claus. Young Susan is enchanted by the experience, but Doris remains doubtful. Kris surprises both customers and employees by claiming he truly is Santa Claus and begins directing parents to other stores to find the specific toy their child wants.
Seen as deluded and dangerous by Sawyer (Jacob Bean-Watson), Macy’s vocational counselor, Kris faces a court hearing overseen by Judge Harper (Mark Schwahn) to verify the validity of his claim and, more importantly, his authenticity. But what is truly at stake is one little girl’s belief in Santa and her mother’s willingness to give love another chance.
