In this Christmas classic, brought to you in a live 1940s Radio style format, an old man going by the name of Kris Kringle fills in for an intoxicated Santa in Macy’s annual Thanksgiving Day parade. 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.

A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN

Have you ever lost anything that meant a great deal to you?  Something that if you could ever find it again would make a huge difference in your life?  If you have, “A Little Piece of Heaven” is the shop for you.  An unlikely relationship is forged in the quirky tourist shop.  Restless biker Michael, who is given a job in the shop, finds a friend in the sassy elderly Lily, although their relationship certainly  doesn’t start out that way. But there’s something odd about this little shop owned by the equally odd Elizabeth and Henry. Suspicion and disagreement turn to respect and trust in this place where long lost things are finally found.

LITTLE OLD LADIES IN TENNIS SHOES
Undercroft Players
Aug. 9-12
First Lutheran Church [Dayton]

Directed by Teresa Connair

Cast: Jacki Fulwood as Kate Corrigan, Linda Dew as Molly Blumenthal, Chase Still as Jeff Bernstein, Mandy Shannon as Marsha Bernstein, Jennie Hawley as Mrs. Petrelli, Melissa Sokol as Mrs. Feldman, Teresa Connair as Mrs. Davis & Steve Strawser as Bill Clayton

Kate Corrigan has her life in order and a new house in the suburbs, and when she meets her new neighbor and her grandson, they overwhelm Kate’s tiny existence with a roller coaster friendship and the problems of the elderly women on the block.  This show reminds us that the presence of good people in our life can be transformative if we just open our door and our heart and let them in.
