A huge dose of holiday cheer awaits audiences in need of their first Christmas fix as Lakewood Theatre Company opens Miracle on 34th Street.

Title Sponsors: Drs. Bill & Ricky Korach

Set in New York City, 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.
