The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Barbara Robinson; Directed by Rhonda Bastarache

 

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 with the Christmas story head-on! This delightful comedy is adapted from the best-selling Young Adult book and has become a holiday tradition here at Barley Sheaf. With an amazing cast of all ages that is sure to spread holiday cheer, it really is the Best Christmas Pageant Ever!


PLEASE NOTE: Due to the small size and ventilation limitations of our historic building, masks are required inside the building by all cast members, parents/guardians, staff and patrons.
