Virginia City, Nev. – This holiday season, historic Piper’s Opera House invites the community to its annual Christmas Play, “Miracle on C Street.” This year’s production blends the classic “Miracle on 34th Street” with a distinctive Virginia City twist, bringing C Street and the town’s rich history to life on stage.

"Piper’s Opera House is the perfect setting for this beloved Christmas classic," said Todd Tuttle, tourism director. "Each year, our Christmas play is a chance to share in the festivity of the season while adding some Virginia City magic. This production is made possible by local talent who showcase the charm of C Street and the magic of the holidays.”
The play follows an old man known as Kris Kringle, who pretends to be Santa during the city’s ‘C Street Parade of Lights’ after the regular Santa becomes ill. Kringles’s warmth, kindness and charm win over paradegoers and soon he’s appearing regularly at the local store on C Street. When he insists he is the
“real” Santa, the town gets suspicious and puts him on trial. The play explores themes of faith, belief, community and the true spirit of Christmas. Guests are encouraged to get tickets early.
