Three residents from the greater Ormond Beach area will star in the upcoming "Miracle on 34th Street," a holiday show at the Daytona Playhouse about a child's belief in Santa Claus.

Ormond Beach resident Julia Ambrose plays Susan Walker in this holiday classic directed by Ted Pack told in the style of a live '40s radio broadcast. After a Macy's Santa claiming to be Kris Kringle leads to a trial in the New York Supreme Court, Susan faces the opportunity to gain something to believe in. 

Also starring in the show is Ormond-By-the-Sea resident Grace Riley who plays Susan's mother on the show. She is romantically pursued by Fred Gailey, who is played by Johnathan Foege, another resident of Ormond-By-the-Sea.
