THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER Comes to The Rose

There's not much chance of a silent night when the Herdman family disrupts the church's annual holiday production in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, which runs December 1-23 on The Rose Theater's mainstage.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a musical written by Jahnna Beecham and Malcom Hillgartner, based on the popular novel by Barbara Robinson, that tells the story of the Herdman siblings, known throughout town as "the worst kids in the history of the world." This family from the wrong side of the tracks creates panic wherever they go, causing fights, stealing lunches, biting classmates and worse! When the Herdmans show up at Sunday School because of the free snacks, the churchfolk have no doubt that the kids are up to no good.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever runs December 1-23, 2017, with performances Fridays at 7 pm, Saturdays at 2 pm, select Saturdays at 7 pm, and Sundays at 2 pm. The 2 pm show on Saturday, December 16 will be interpreted for people who are deaf or hard of hearing; this show will also include audio description services for audience members who are blind. Contact The Rose Box Office at (402) 345-4849 for more information.

Tickets for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever are $27 for main floor and $22 for balcony. Discount ticket vouchers are available at all area Hy-Vee stores for $22. Members of The Rose receive discounted tickets to the production.
