Please contact the director Mike Rogan at Achillesmr@aol.com <mailto:Achillesmr@aol.com> Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, gets a job working as Santa for Macy’s department store. Kris unleashes waves of good will with Macy’s customers and the commercial world of New York City by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy’s vocational counselor, who plots to have Kris shanghaied to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing. The story of believing in magic and the power of the Christmas spirit also sweeps up the store’s manager of personnel, her skeptical young daughter, and a lawyer they befriend.
