Chaos, comedy, and Christmas collide in this wildly entertaining holiday favorite by Barbara Robinson. In The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, the annual church pageant is thrown into delightful disarray when the Herdman kids—the worst children in the history of the world—decide they want to be in the show. Known for lying, stealing, and terrorizing the neighborhood, the Herdmans have never even heard the Christmas story. But when they’re unexpectedly cast as Mary, Joseph, the Wise Men, and the Angel of the Lord, they bring their own bold, unfiltered perspective to the nativity. Under the increasingly frazzled direction of a well-meaning mother trying to keep things on track, rehearsals unravel into hilarious chaos—complete with cigar-smoking shepherds, improvised dialogue, and a complete disregard for tradition. Yet beneath the comedy lies something surprisingly heartfelt. As the Herdmans encounter the story of a baby born in a stable, their candid questions and raw reactions begin to strip away the polish of the familiar tale. What emerges is a fresh, deeply human look at the heart of Christmas—one that challenges an entire community to rediscover its meaning. Filled with laugh-out-loud moments and unexpected tenderness, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a joyful reminder that the message of Christmas can reach even the most unlikely hearts—and that sometimes, the pageant no one expects becomes the one no one can forget.

ABOUT OUR ARTISTS
Although A.D. Players is driven by a Christ-centered world view, not all of our staff or artists are Believers. Our Board Members and Senior Leadership are required to possess an active Christian faith according to our bylaws, but our contract artists and staff are not. This is by design. Since our inception 60 years ago, Jeanette Clift George, our Founder, envisioned a company where Believer artists and Non-Believer artists could produce exceptional theatre side by side. Where all are welcome to experience the love of Jesus and the transformative power of the Kingdom of God. Where the Mission does not change, but individual hearts do.
We maintain that important practice to this day.
