Behind the scenes of Miracle on 34th Street

Have you ever wondered what it’s like behind the scenes of a play? West Side Story takes you up on the catwalk and into the makeup room to see the whole process.

On Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1, Theatre West presented Miracle on 34th Street, a Christmas play that celebrates the childhood wonder of the holidays.
