Miracle on 34th Street: A Classic Radiocast

We are blessed to have such a robust theatre scene in Austin.  We have so many fun holiday theatre productions to choose from. But before you buy your tickets, let me convince you that one of this year’s MUST SEE holiday shows is Penfold Theatre Company’s A Miracle on 34th Street: A Classic Radiocast.

I promise you, this show will be unlike no others.   The play, performed by 5 very talented actors, is a radio show – complete with really fun sound effects.  Standing in front of microphones the entire performance, the actors all play a few different roles each and it is so fun to see them all change characters right in front of you, complete with their facial expressions. Last year I was blown away with how much I enjoyed their radio show of It’s a Wonderful Life, they did such a fantastic job of storytelling, that you got lost in the story with them.  You completely forget there are microphones in front of them and begin to “see” the story unfold.

The sound effects – glass breaking, dishes clinking, taxi cab horn tooting, shoes running, and more – enhance the story and performance.

Penfold Theatre Company presents Miracle on 34th Street Classic Radiocast November 30 – December 23, 2017 at Old Settlers Hall at Old Settlers Park.

The players at the fictional KPNF radio station return to put their stamp on another holiday classic, Miracle on 34th Street. As they bring to life the entire story through dozens of character voices and live foley sound effects, you’ll be re-introduced to Kris Kringle, the delightfully charming Macy’s mascot put on trial for claiming to be the real Santa Claus. Besieged by commercialism and skepticism, winning the trial and restoring his friends’ faith in the true spirit of Christmas will require nothing short of a miracle!
