Meet the Nowaks of Buffalo, NY. Clara and her three grown kids have always known they were special, ever since the miraculous evening in 1942 when the Blessed Mother appeared to Grandpa in his barbershop! Daughter Ruth unveils her plan to write and star in a one-woman show about the family miracle so the “whole world will know!” However, as her plans for theatrical immortality unfold, the entire family’s faith is shaken to the very core when a deathbed confession causes the family legend to unravel. The results are heartfelt and hilarious.

Theater is more than something I do; it’s something I live. As a director, I am constantly inspired by the collaborative nature of this art form. Theater, like all great art, is one of the last bastions where artists can truly have a voice – a place where stories are told, ideas are explored, and connections are made.
When Susan O’Connell, the original director of this play, had to step aside, I had the privilege of stepping in. After reading the script, I was struck, by its poignancy, humor, and heart. It’s a story that resonates deeply, and I knew immediately it was something I wanted to help bring to life.
Community theater is a special space where artists come together to create something greater than themselves. Working with this talented cast and crew has been an absolute joy. Some are familiar collaborators I’ve had the pleasure of working with before, while others are brilliant new talents-hidden gems I can’t believe I hadn’t crossed paths with until now.
