"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Needs Boys and Girls
Seeking young performers for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Based on the best-selling book and play, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical is the story of the Herdmans, who are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, they steal, they bully other kids, and they smoke smelly cigars. There used to be only one place where you’d never see them—church. This all changes when Charlie Bradley brags that his Sunday school offers free snacks. All six of the Herdmans show up at church in search of pizza, cookies and Hawaiian Punch, and end up in the Christmas pageant. Charlie’s mom, Grace, is the novice director, who not only casts them in the show but, much to the dismay of the other kids, let’s them play all the leads. Grace instantly finds herself caught between two forces of nature—the Herdmans and Helen Armstrong, who speaks for all of the outraged citizens of the town. Grace has two choices: get rid of the Herdmans, or let them stay and risk being blamed for the worst pageant in the history of the world. Additional info: Please prepare 16 - 32 bars (One Minute) of a song that is in the style of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical". Rehearsals will begin: October 13th Show opens December 4th, 2025 and runs through December 14th, 2025 If interested, please apply.
