MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET Comes To The Heights Players This Christmas

This holiday season, The Heights Players will present the heartwarming stage adaptation of "Miracle on 34th Street," opening December 6th and running through December 15th, 2024. This timeless tale of faith, imagination, and the magic of Christmas has been reimagined and set in the 1990s, bringing a contemporary twist to this cherished story.

Against the backdrop of a decade defined by mall culture and growing commercialism, a mysterious gentleman named Kris Kringle takes a job as Macy's department store Santa. His genuine warmth and sincerity touch everyone around him-especially a skeptical young girl and her pragmatic mother. As Kris's claims of being the real Santa Claus draw scrutiny and legal challenges, the city of New York and the entire nation watch as the court determines whether Santa Claus is real.

Come and grab a cup of cocoa, a Christmas cookie or a candy cane, and meet the Elves of Macy's. Before entering the theater, we invite you to stop by the North Pole mailbox and write a letter to Santa Claus! The Elves will be sure to deliver them directly to him
