Photo Flash: First Look at Geva Theatre's MIRACLE ON SOUTH DIVISION STREET

A family comedy by the playwright of Over the Tavern continues the 2015-2016 ESL Wilson Stage Series as Geva Theatre Center presents MIRACLE ON SOUTH DIVISION STREET by Tom Dudzick and directed by Pamela Hunt in the Elaine P. Wilson Stage from tomorrow, January 12, through February 7. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

According to Nowak family legend, there was a miracle on South Division Street sixty years ago when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in the family's barbershop on Buffalo's East Side. Since then, the neighborhood has looked upon the Nowak's 20-foot commemorative shrine as a beacon of hope and faith amidst the urban rubble. But now, the family's faith is shaken when a deathbed confession threatens to change everything. A heartfelt and hilarious family comedy from the author of Over the Tavern.

Toni DiBuono (Broadway productions of The Boys from Syracuse, Wonderful Town and original cast member of Forbidden Broadway) returns to Geva following last season's production of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. In Miracle on South Division Street, Ms. DiBuono plays Clara, the Nowak family matriarch. Making their Geva TheatreCenter debuts are Laura Gragtmans (New York productions of White Embers, October in the Chair and Other Fragile Things) as Ruth; Katharine McLeod (New York productions of The Religion Thing, Persuasion, Wonder of the World and Dear Harvey) as Beverly and Colin Ryan (Broadway's Waiting for Godot and No Man's Land) as Jimmy.

MIRACLE ON SOUTH DIVISION STREET is directed by Pamela Hunt (Geva productions of Radio Gals and Five Guys Named Moe). The design team includes Bill Clarke (scenic design), Amanda Doherty (costume design), Derek Madonia (lighting design) and Dan Roach (sound design).
