In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

Umpqua Actors Community Theatre will present a holiday classic in a way most have never seen it before – “Miracle on 34th Street – A Live Musical Radio Play” with performances November 30th through December 17th.

Directed by Jannie Prawitz, the story is retold in the tradition of a 1940’s era radio broadcast. When a department store Santa claims he’s the real Kris Kringle, his case gets taken all the way to the Supreme Court, and a little girl’s belief makes the difference in the ‘miracle’. With live Foley effects and a score of holiday carols, “Miracle on 34th Street is a beloved musical that will melt even the most cynical of hearts.

It will be presented Thursdays through Saturday nights at 7:00 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are going fast with some performances already sold out. They are $17 for adults and $12 for students age 10 and under. Purchase tickets at the door if available, by calling 673-2125, or at www.uact-theatre.com
