Penguin Rep Theatre Presents: Miracle on South Division Street

Planning a night at the theater? Check out Penguin Rep’s latest production, Miracle on South Division Street!

The Buffalo-set comedy follows the Nowak family, proud caretakers of a backyard shrine commemorating the day the Blessed Mother allegedly appeared in Grandpa’s barbershop. When a late-in-life confession upends the story behind that “miracle,” the Nowaks’ sense of identity unravels in equal parts hilarity and heart.

Founded in 1977 by director Joe Brancato, and guided by executive director Andrew M. Horn, Penguin Rep Theatre has premiered more than 200 plays and transferred eight of them to Off-Broadway theaters—including Gene & Gilda, slated to open there this summer. The New York Times tagged the company “the gutsiest little theatre,” while Emmy-winner Edie Falco calls it “a perfect trip out of the city.”  

Just 15-25 minutes up the Palisades Parkway at 7 Crickettown Road in Stony Point, Penguin Rep Theatre delivers equally accomplished theater inside a converted 1880 hay barn where no seat sits more than 30 feet from the stage. For some Bergen residents, the trip is shorter than a Garden State Plaza run. The Penguin Rep Theatre also offers free parking just steps from the door.
