Miracle on South Division Street (Holiday Version) by Tom Dudzick: We meet the Nowaks of Buffalo, NY, gathering at the shabby old homestead to commemorate the family “miracle" as is their Christmas ritual. According to family lore, on Christmas Eve in 1942, the Blessed Mother herself appeared to Grandpa in the family barbershop. Now Clara, the family matriarch, happily tends to the family heirloom, a twenty-foot memorial shrine to the Virgin Mary which adjoins the house. As daughter Ruth unveils her plan to write and star in a one-woman Christmas show about the family miracle so the "whole world will know," the entire family’s faith is shaken to the very core when a deathbed confession causes the family legend to unravel. The results are heartfelt and hilarious!
Directed by Jessica Ires Morris and starring Denise Simone, Veronica Von Tobel, Sasha Allen-Grieve, and Taylor Hawkins.
