Manage episode 520931388 series 3327581
A small stage, a big cast, and a 1940s reset bring fresh heart to Miracle on 34th Street as we explore belief, courage, and community. We share how volunteers, teachers, and first-timers shape a classic into something intimate, warm, and alive.
• why we chose Miracle on 34th Street and set it in the 1940s
• how a large ensemble, kids to grandparents, powers the show
• Doris Walker’s arc as a frank, working single mother
• crafting Fred Gailey’s warmth and courtroom grit
• Jack’s return after 30 years and finding Kris Kringle’s truth
• building Macy’s and the courtroom on an intimate stage
• period costumes, carols, and 1947 radio pre-show
• the teamwork culture that defines community theater
• key creatives and crew shaping sets and flow
• show schedule, opening night gala, and talkback
