About Miracle on Braddock St.

Macy finds him on the sidewalk in front of the new art museum — a homeless man named Kris, quiet and unhurried, with something about him she can't quite name.

She can't name it, but she can feel it. Because whenever Kris is near, magical things happen. Small things. Impossible things. The kind of things that make you stop and ask whether the world is stranger and more generous than you gave it credit for.

Her father Aaron doesn't see it that way. A city councilman with a cold and practical eye, Aaron has made it his mission to clear the homeless from Winchester's streets. He is not a villain. He is a man whose heart stopped warming the day his wife died — Macy's mother — and who has been governing from that frozen place ever since.

Miracle on Braddock Street is an original play set right here, in this city, on this street, outside the very kind of space where art and community are supposed to change things. It is a story about what happens when a child still believes what a grieving father has forgotten: that magic is real, that the most inconvenient people carry the most necessary grace, and that a heart can thaw — but only if someone is brave enough to stay close to the warmth.

SELAH THEATRE PROJECT

Selah Theatre Project, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization​, is a socially conscious, issue-driven theatre company rooted in the belief that the stage is not merely a place of entertainment rather a place of reckoning, healing, and transformation. Founded and led by Artistic Director BleuJay Do'zia, Selah Theatre has spent fifteen seasons asking its community the questions that matter most: Who are we? Whose stories have we forgotten? What do we owe each other?

Based in Winchester, Virginia, Selah Theatre Project creates and produces work that lives at the intersection of art and advocacy. The company champions original new works alongside carefully selected licensed productions, always guided by the question of what a piece demands of its audience and what it gives back to its community. Selah Theatre's original works — including Ruth's Tea Room, When a Trumpet Cries, and the forthcoming The Colored Patriot — draw from history, memory, identity, and the lived experiences of people whose stories are too often absent from mainstream stages.
