The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a hilarious and heartwarming comedy adapted from Barbara Robinsons beloved 1972 novel.
The Herdman kids lie, steal, smoke cigars, and are generally agreed to be the worst kids in town. When they crash Sunday school looking for free snacks, they somehow hijack the annual town Christmas pageant. The town expects absolute disaster. Instead, this unruly band of misfits reimagines the Christmas story in a way that is refreshingly honest, and deeply touching. Filled with chaos, comedy, and unexpected heart, this charming show proves that nobody is beyond the true spirit of the season.
