HEARTFELT AND HILARIOUS
Miracle on South Division St. is the story of the Nowak family. It is Christmas Eve. A meeting of the Nowak family has been called by daughter Ruth, whose designs upon a theatrical career are now centered upon an old family legend—the supposed visitation of the Virgin Mary to Grandpa at his East Side barber shop. Since the death of Grandpa, daughter Clara has been the keeper of the flame for some 50 years, tending to this decidedly non-official religious site, banking donations and doling out free soup there twice a week. The “miracle” has defined Clara and her three children to a considerable extent, so when daughter Ruth decides to at last divulge the true story of the seminal events, and how she has come by it, it’s as though a volcano has erupted right in the house. The results are heartfelt and hilarious.
