60 years ago, Grandpa Nowak had a vision of the Virgin Mary in his Buffalo, New York barbershop and had an unusual statue of her made to commemorate the miracle.  His family has faithfully tended to his quirky shrine. That is until a deathbed confession knocks them for a loop in this hilarious hit. This is at the Human Race Theater and is called Miracle on South Division Street. I saw it a couple of nights ago and it is so funny and so well done!

The Dayton Foundation is kicking-off a project they hope to highlight the good work organizations and nonprofits are doing to make a difference in our community. Go to Facebook and find Dayton Foundation #SpreadtheGood
