The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world. When they crash Sunday school and demand parts in the Christmas pageant, the whole town panics. There’s not supposed to be biting or cigar-smoking in Bethlehem, and while these kids have never even heard the Christmas story, they definitely have rewrites!
Soon everyone is calling for reluctant director Grace Bradley to cancel the whole thing.
It’s up to the Bradleys and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this joyous musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic.
A Perfect show for the whole family including children ages 5 and up! Show runs approximately 90 minutes including a 15-minute intermission.
“One of the best Christmas stories ever – and certainly one of the funniest.” – The Seattle Times
