The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
by Playhouse 2000
Oct. 06 - Oct. 07
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever uses a combination of adults and children to tell the heartwarming tale of the Herdman family and their chaotic contributions to the Church’s annual Christmas presentation. Based on a young-adult book by Barbara Robinson, which was, in turn, based on a story first published in “Colliers” magazine, The Best Christmas Pageant… has become a beloved tradition in homes and theaters across the world.
