Play: "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!" 

Tickets are now on sale!

 TICKETS

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! This delightful show is adapted from the bestselling Young Adult book, and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States. The crowd-pleasing comedy features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas Carols, and lots of laughs.

Friday, December 5 @ 8 p.m.
Saturday, December 6 @ 3 p.m. & 7 p.m.

Adults $12 | Children/Students $10
