Miracle on South Division Street
by Tom Dudzick

Miracle on South Division Street is the story of the Nowak family, living amidst the urban rubble of Buffalo, New York's East Side.

Clara, the family matriarch, happily runs her soup kitchen and tends to the family heirloom, a twenty-foot 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’s barbershop!

When the play opens, a family meeting is in progress.

Daughter Ruth divulges her plan to finally “go public” with the family miracle by creating a one-woman show about the sacred event.

But during the course of the meeting, the entire family’s faith is shaken to the very core when a deathbed confession causes the family legend to unravel.

The results are heartfelt and hilarious.

(A Holiday Version of this play is also available from Concord Theatricals.)
