For the holidays, NVA will feature a musical adaptation of the classic MIRACLE ON 34th STREET told in the style of a radio play and created by San Diego artists Jon Lorenz and Lance Arthur Smith. With live Foley effects and a score of holiday carols, this beloved musical will melt even the most cynical of hearts. Two exciting, emerging directors on the San Diego theatre scene, Faith Carrion and Kay McNellen, will co-direct this heartwarming show, in which Doris Walker, a no-nonsense Macy’s executive desperately searches for a new store Santa Claus. She hires Kris Kringle who insists that he’s the real thing. But he has many skeptics including Doris and her six-year-old daughter Susan. Susan’s belief makes all the difference in this ‘miracle’ of the holiday season.
