The perennial holiday favorite The Best Christmas Pageant Ever returns in November and December with everyone's favorite family, the Herdmans! The Herdmans are the worst kids in the whole history of the world; they lie, steal and cheat. Now they have bullied their way into the churches' annual Christmas pageant. Slated to be the "worst pageant ever", the whole town has gathered in anticipation, waiting to see the Herdmans ruin Christmas. Will the pageant be a disaster as everyone is expecting, or will the spirit of the season change the hearts and minds of the Herdman family? Back by popular demand; join Stage One for this raucous event perfect for the whole family. November 27, December 11, & December 18, 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Is eternal life a blessing or a curse? That is what young Winnie Foster must decide when she discovers a spring on her family's property whose waters grant immortality as Stage One presents the literary classic, Tuck Everlasting. Members of the Tuck family, having drunk from the spring, tell Winnie of their experiences watching life go by and never growing older. But young Winnie must decide whether or not to keep the Tucks' secret-and whether or not to join them on their never-ending journey. Here for one night only, join Stage One February 18, 7 p.m. for this enchanting tale. Recommended for ages 9 and up.
