Community Theatre

Champaign-Urbana, Illinois

Winter 2013

Bah Humbug Productions presented Miracle on 34th Street at Parkland College Theatre in December 2013. This classic Christmas tale, adapted by Mountain Community Theater from the novel by Valentine Davies and based on the movie of the same name, is one of the most loved stories of the season. It illuminates the Christmas spirit through the eyes of young Susan Walker, who believes that Santa Claus really does exist. It tells of Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, who gets a job working as Santa for Macy’s in New York City. Kris unleashes waves of good will with customers by referring parents to other stores to find exactly what their child has asked for. The company vocational counselor sees him as deluded and plots to have him committed to a psychiatric hospital. Kris ends up in a court competency hearing with one little girl’s belief in Santa at stake.
