Miracle on 34th Street
Adapted by Caleb Marshall & Erin Keating
Based on the story by Valentine Davies
Matsqui Centennial Auditorium

A gentle, warm-hearted department store Santa Claus, who goes by the name of Chris Kringle, starts to turn heads with his generosity, kindness and wisdom.
He confounds everyone when he makes the startling claim that he is, indeed, the real Santa Claus. Facing doubt, cynicism and outright hatred at every turn, things come to a head when he must prove his identity in a court of law. Can he change everyone’s mind and win back their hearts, including the highly skeptical young Susan Walker?
This cherished Christmas classic is sure to restore your faith in the miraculous and bring cheer to your holidays.
