ONE NIGHT ONLY at the Strand Theater
Artistic Synergy of Baltimore presents
Miracle on 34th Street, the Musical!
Wednesday, December 12, 2018 7:00pm

​Young Susan Walker and her mother Doris live on their own in New York City, where Doris works as an executive at the Macy’s department store. Determined to raise her daughter as a realistic, straight-forward young woman, Susan does not believe in Santa Claus or the magic of Christmas. Can an ex-marine named Fred Gaily and department store Kris Kringle open the Walker ladies’ eyes to the possibilities of Christmas miracles?

UP NEXT:
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, But Staged!

When: Sunday, January 13, 2019 at 5pm
Where: Strand Theater, 5426 Harford Road, Baltimore, MD 21214
Tickets: Sliding scale
​Patrons encouraged to reserve online in advance. Seating is limited.
The Strand Theater Company presents The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, But Staged a collaboratively crafted production by women in the Baltimore community.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, But Staged is part of the Strand Theater Company’s
ongoing series of workshops and performances dedicated to empowering women to tell their
own stories. Using the template of consciousness-raising groups that sprung out of the Women’s
Movement, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, But Staged creates a safe space for women-
identified participants to find strength and community through sharing personal narratives.Each workshop participant has served as the director of their own show and each story has been created with the input of the entire ensemble.

​The performance, crafted over the course of forty-eight hours, is an intimate, raw, and a wholly feminist selection of stories representing the individual perspectives of each group member. Audience members are encouraged to join in the feminist festivities and warm-up with the artist-participants before the show, shout, dance, and drink wine.

“The Introductory Women's Performance Workshop might be one of the most creatively and
emotionally fulfilling experiences I've ever had. I was so impressed with the level of
vulnerability in the room, and everyone was so supportive of each other: I think we all craved a
kind of sisterhood that we found there.” – Sarah Weissman

“The Women’s Performance Workshop is a catalyst for bringing to life the imaginations of
diverse women. From the cradle to the great beyond, your emotions will be taken on a fantastic
journey. Come and enjoy the ride.” – Shelley Jennings

This project is made possible by Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and the Baltimore Office of
Promotion and The Arts and a generous grant from Engaged Cornell. 

​The performance will feature Baltimore community members Alex Hewett, Amy Hecht-Zizes, Beth Terrence, Cindy Bledsoe, Danaye, Hilary Sigismondi, Imuetinyan Ugiagbe, Jasmine L. Blanks Jones, Mabelle Fomundam, Natalie Dent, Rita Walters, Sarah Weissman, Shelley Jennings, Tricia Theis Rogalski, Tristeza Duncan, Kat Martineau, Ursula Populoh
