ABOUT THE SHOW:
The Herdmans are the worst kids in the whole history of the world… or so everyone says. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, and cause chaos everywhere they go. So when they unexpectedly show up at church and decide to take over the annual Christmas pageant, the congregation braces for disaster. Imogene Herdman as Mary? Leroy as Joseph? Not a chance. What follows is a wild ride of missing rehearsals, rewired costumes, and absolute mayhem- but also, unexpectedly, a whole lot of heart. As the Herdmans experience the Christmas story for the first time, they bring raw honesty, curiosity, and even a little grace to a tale the church thought they knew by heart. In the end, the pageant might not go as planned… but it just might be the best one yet!

Don’t miss the 34th annual The Best Christmas Pageant Ever in Fayetteville this December- it is is a laugh-out-loud holiday romp perfect for the whole family to enjoy together!
