The Best Christmas Pageant Ever at Footlighters Theater

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 Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on! This delightful comedy is adapted from the best-selling Young Adult book by late local author Barbara Robinso

n and has become a holiday staple for theatre across the United States! Features plenty of great roles for children and adults a few favorite Christmas carols and a lot of laughs! (Study Guide available for schools and churches)

The shows Directors, Holly Gruver Franciamone and Robert Lotz, were both in the original production in 1981 at West Chester and Barley Sheaf Playhouse and Franciamone remained friends with author Barbara Robinson until Robinsons death in 2013. One of the other cast members, Rosie Alleva, was also in the first production and loved it so much she has been in every local production of the show since then....31 of them! She also was close to the beloved author and even wrote the introduction to our study guide. We have many wonderful things planned for the holidays this year and we hope you will join us at one of the performances!
