SASKATOON – Christmas has me feeling extra Santa-mental. Believe yule me, Persephone Theatre’s production of Miracle on 34th Street will fill you with the spirit of the holidays and warm your heart.
It’s a glorious way to celebrate the 50th season of Saskatoon’s Persephone Theatre by sharing the magic of the season with this timeless classic.
Persephone announced on Dec. 4 that anticipation have been high for this production, and ticket sales were brisk enlisting them to extend the show from Dec. 4 – Dec. 29, six additional performances added.
Media in attendance were delighted to watch a scene featuring Santa, and the character Susan, on opening day. It’s a wonderfyule life, as evidenced by the actors’ participation in this Christmas classic.
The plays charm offers not only the colourful characters that help bring Valentine Davies’ story to life but an animated little girl named Charlotte who shares the role of the little girl, whose faith in Santa is put to the test.
Seeing Hal Kerbes, who plays Kris Kringle, is magical because he truly looks like Santa himself. His portrayal of Kris Kringle is obviously as enjoyable to him as it is for the audience he is entertaining.
Charlotte, the 10-year-old girl playing a main character will celebrate her birthday during production. Her delightful animated responses gave clear indication she was excited for the show’s run to begin.
