‘Miracle’ Gets SCV In The Christmas Spirit

Miracles still happen, and the holiday classic, “Miracle on 34th Street” is happening on stage at the Canyon Theatre Guild. Feel the joy of the holiday season by coming to see this delightful, heartwarming production, on stage at the CTG.

Young Susan Walker (Justine Kelly) has doubts about childhood’s most enduring miracle, Santa Claus. Her mother, Doris (Amy Dunham Prieto), told her the “secret” of Santa a long time ago, so Susan does not expect to receive the most important gifts on her Christmas list. After meeting a special department store Santa, who is convinced he is the real thing, Susan wonders if he is truly Santa or just a nice old man with real whiskers. But then, she is given the most precious gift of all – something to believe in.

Each year at this time, the Canyon Theatre Guild spreads the holiday spirit by presenting a classic and well-loved Christmas story. This year’s offering is Valentine Davies’ “Miracle on 34th Street,” and young and old will be touched by this enduring holiday classic. Though the story remains the same, the message is fresh: As Susan and her mother learn, “Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to.” Have faith and enjoy this holiday season! Join the cast of Miracle and travel back to a time when innocence was a quality to be treasured.
