Description:

Seeking kid performers for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world–so 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 buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic. This has been a hit with many community theatres throughout America and is currently Broadway Licensing’s number one-performed show. Additional info: No preparation is needed-just show up in clothes you can move in, and directors will provide the rest. If interested, please apply.
