Just in time for the holidays, Persephone Theatre takes us on a trip of nostalgia with Miracle on 34th Street. Based on the 1947 film, this story follows Kris Kringle, a man called in to fill in for the intoxicated Santa in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. When Mr. Kringle makes claims to be the real Santa Claus, his sanity is called into question. This is a heartwarming classic for the whole family and stars many local actors including several children from right here in Saskatoon. Tickets are going fast and run $30 – $47.
