Miracle On 34th Street
MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET
DECEMBER 15-18, 2022
Featuring a cast of 30+ performers, 6-70 years old, from Carpinteria - Santa Barbara - Goleta - Ventura - Santa Paula presented by The Alcazar Ensemble at the historic Alcazar Theatre.
In this holiday classic, an old man named Kris Kringle fills in for an intoxicated Santa in Macy's annual Thanksgiving Day parade. Kringle is such a hit that he soon appears regularly at the chain's main store in midtown Manhattan.
When Kringle surprises customers and employees alike by claiming that he really is Santa Claus, it leads to a court case to determine his mental health and, more importantly, his authenticity.
