Playhouse on the Air presents the live radio telling of the holiday classic, Miracle on 34th Street. In this story, young Susan Walker has been raised by her well-meaning mother, Doris, not to believe in Santa Claus. When their lives intersect with Kris Kringle, the man hired by Doris to play Santa at Macy’s department store, the two must grapple with whether they believe he is truly Santa Clause. After a jealous Macy’s employee frames Kris for an assault and has him placed in an institution, attorney Fred Gailey must prove to Doris, Susan, and a court of law that Kris is the real Santa.
I and You Opening Night Livestream
Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate Caroline’s door bearing a beat-up copy of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, with an urgent assignment from their English teacher. Homebound due to illness, Caroline hasn’t been to school in months, but she is as quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. As these two let down their guards and share their secrets, this seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks a much deeper mystery that has brought them together. I and You is an ode to youth, life, love, and the strange beauty of human connectedness.
