The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
November 21 to December 14, 2025
By Barbara Robinson
Directed by Debbie Harmon Ferry
This delightful comedy, adapted from the bestselling young adult book, features plenty of holiday cheer for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas carols, and lots of laughs.
In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively awful kids in history.
You won't believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide head-on with the story of Christmas. Tickets are on sale now — make live theater part of your family's holiday traditions!
