Lionville, PA, United States
ID: 612240Exp: 9/14/2026
Description:

Seeking child performers ages 5 and up for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: It is time again for the annual church Christmas Pageant. The Bradleys have two children who have always participated in the pageant. Every year it is the same; same director, same characters, same story…But not this year! The director was in an accident and cannot direct. An undesirable clan of six Herdman children shows up and wants to get involved. Craziness and conflict ensue. Acceptance and understanding are demonstrated, and in the end, the unpredictable happens. A touching moment when the true meaning of Christmas is discovered. A holiday tradition here at Barley Sheaf with an amazing cast of all ages, it really is the Best Christmas Pageant Ever!
