The Des Moines Playhouse presents The Best Christmas Pageant Ever November 7-29. The Herdman children appear to be the worst kids ever. They lie, they steal, and they curse. When the Herdmans hear the neighborhood church serves treats, they show up and volunteer for the lead roles in this year’s pageant. Ultimately everyone is reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.
The show runs Fridays at 7:00 PM and Saturdays & Sundays at 1:00 & 4:00 PM (Friday, November 28 has two shows at 1 & 4pm.)
