Every family has a story and the Nowaks have a doozey! Ever since grandfather had a miraculous vision of world peace in his barbershop in 1942 the family has been tending a shrine in memory of the vision. Clara runs a soup kitchen from the family house behind the barbershop in Buffalo, New York, and the kids were raised to respect the vision. A deathbed confession is about to shake them to the core.

Kristine Thatcher returns to direct Miracle on South Division Street. The cast for this production includes: Peggy Roeder, Erin Noel Grennan, Joe Foust and Molly Glynn.
