Description:

Child performers needed for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: 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 Herdman’s collide head-on with the story of Christmas. This crowd-pleasing comedy features a few Christmas Carols and lots of laughs. Additional info: Children who are readers will be asked to read from a script, children can also come in with a memorized poem or a short song. Rehearsals will begin in October, and the show will run from December 11-14, (two shows on the 13th) 2025. If interested, please apply.
