Columbus Children's Theatre to Present THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER

Columbus Children's Theatre will present The Best Christmas Pageant Ever November 25 - December 18 at Park Street Theatre located at 512 Park Street. Written by Barbara Robinson This production is directed by William Goldsmith.

Celebrate the holidays with Columbus Children's Theatre and the Herdmans! Family is key element in this year's holiday production of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. When the Herdmans, arguably the "Worst Kids in the History of the World", wrangle the leading roles in the local Christmas Pageant, a hilarity of Christmas chaos ensues. Through the mayhem and the fun, the true meaning of Christmas is movingly rediscovered. This delightful play is adapted from the award winning novel of the same title.

Our production of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will truly be a family event with four different families making up multiple characters in the cast. Joelle and Zachary Brinson are brother and sister in real life and will act together as two of the Herdman kids. We also have the McGann family, who are Columbus residents, all playing different characters in the show. These families and more have chosen to spend their holidays entertaining our patrons and we are thrilled to have them.

You will be laughing and loving this production and will leave full of holiday cheer. Join our family this holiday season by bringing your family to CCT.
