YOUR FAVORITE HOLIDAY STORY, TOLD BIGGER THAN EVER BEFORE
The story of the Herdmans comes to life in a new, musical version never before seen on the SCCT stage! Adapted from the play by Barbara Robinson, and written by Jahnna Beachman and Malcolm Hillgartner, this holiday treat is for all ages. The rambunctious Herdman gang lies, steals, bullies other kids, and even smokes smelly cigars. The only safe place to hide from them used to be church. This changes when the entire “herd” shows up in search of pizza, cookies and Hawaiian Punch, and ends up in the Christmas pageant. Grace, the novice director in the play, is torn between getting rid of the Herdmans, or letting them stay at the risk of producing the worst pageant in the history of the world. This night at the theatre should be a part of any family’s holiday plans!
“This is one of my favorite holiday stories. I am so excited to produce this new musical at SCCT. It’s a story where we see the spirit of Christmas personified, and it reminds all of us to be full of love, cheer and goodwill.”
– Matt Giles, Artistic Director
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing Global. (www.broadwaylicensing.com)
