The cast includes Bonnie Agan, Georgia Mallory-Guy, Becca McCoy and Stephen Ray.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Miracle on South Division Street<\/em>\u00a0is the story of the Nowak family, who live amid the urban rubble of Buffalo, N.Y.\u2019s East Side. Maybe the neighborhood is depressed, but not Clara, the family matriarch. She happily runs her soup kitchen and tends to the family heirloom \u2013 a 20-ft. shrine to the Blessed Mother which adjoins the house. This neighborhood beacon of faith commemorates the day in 1942 when the Blessed Virgin Mary materialized in her father\u2019s barber shop. When the play opens, a family meeting is in progress. Daughter Ruth divulges her plan to finally \u201cgo public\u201d with the family miracle by creating a one-woman play about the sacred event. But during the course of the meeting, the entire family\u2019s faith is shaken to its core when a deathbed confession causes the family legend to unravel. The results are heartfelt and hilarious.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/05\/18\/theater\/reviews\/miracle-on-south-division-street-at-st-lukes-theater.html?_r=0\"><em>New York Times<\/em><\/a> called the play &#8220;a sprightly, gentle comedy, where revelations that might remake a family&#8217;s sense of itself are each rolled out in service of laughter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Performance schedule and ticket prices:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">July 31 \u2013 August 17, 2014<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Bininger Theatre<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Thursday-Saturday performances at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">General Admission: $30<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Students, Seniors and Actors Equity members: \u00a0$25<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For tickets and more information please visit asimpletheatre.org<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Phone: 727-864-7811<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Email: \u00a0asimpletheatre@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>About a Simple Theatre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Created by Tampa Bay area artists, A Simple Theatre in Residence at Eckerd College is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded on the belief that great theatere is rooted in the simplicity of compelling stories told by talented storytellers.
