A miracle is on its way to the Prince George stage

Theatre NorthWest is nearly ready to debut its annual Christmas production.

This year, they present Miracle on 34th Street as a live radio play.

“It is going to be a really great opportunity for people to have a holiday show experience,” Kayvon Khoshkam, the play’s director, told the media this afternoon (Friday). “If people are already familiar with Miracle on 34th Street – which was one of my favorites as a kid, and I still watch it every Christmas – this is an interesting take on it with music they have never heard before.”

“It will not be the movie they remember, but it will have all the joy they recall,” he said.

Khoshkam said the live radio play twist on the performance not only represents how the play is formatted and presented, it will also create a secondary plotline.

“We are giving you a version of what 1947 would have looked like doing this show as a live radio play,” he said. “What we are playing with in this production is they are there to do a live radio show and it starts to go wrong. They are trying to figure out how to keep the show going because they are live on air and can’t stop the show.”

The production also features some local talent.

Prince George’s Courtney Hayhurst will be taking the stage in a handful of different roles, she said getting on stage in her home town “means a lot because this community has been so supportive to me.”

“It is incredible getting to meet new people and getting to be on stage in a production like this,” she said. “I am really hoping [people] get a lot of heart warmth and that little bit of Christmas glimmer.”

The show opens in under one week, on Thursday, November 23rd.
