Bloomingdale Avenue School Hosts Pushcart Players

Pushcart Players, New Jersey’s renowned touring theatre for
young audiences presents “A Season of Miracles” on Friday, December 13,
2013 at 1:30 pm at Bloomingdale Avenue School in Cranford, NJ. “A Season of Miracles” is a multi-cultural collection
of holiday tales that celebrates Christmas, Kwanza and Chanuka. Stories within
this delightful musical include O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi, E.T.A.
Hoffmann’s The Nutcracker, an original tale set in Nigeria entitled The
Kwanzaa Kite and The Chanuka Miracle. Crafted and set to music with
the timeless tone of each classic piece, this magical presentation warms the
hearts – and perhaps changes the perspectives – of family audiences as they
reflect on the true meaning and spirit of the holidays.“As for miracles?” notes Ruth Fost, Pushcart co-founder and
playwright for the production, “They are within us all and at the heart of each
story. They are the gifts of love, kindness, caring and sharing.”Pushcart Players is in its 40th anniversary
