THEATRE + COMEDY

The Country Playhouse (voted through Houston Community Newspapers as Best Community Theatre of 2010) presents The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, by Barbara Robinson, running from December 9 to 19. This delightful comedy is adapted from the best selling book and is the only story ever to run twice in McCall's Magazine. It is being staged on our Cerwinske Stage as a special event, brought back by popular demand.

In this hilarious Christmas tale, a producer struggling to put on a Christmas pageant is faced with casting probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the children collide with the Christmas story head on!

Grace Bradley steps in to direct the Christmas pageant when the original organizer breaks her leg but little does she know that the most notorious kids in town have taken an interest in participating in the production. She struggles to contain the chaos caused by this unruly group as she hopes for a true Christmas miracle, but does this happen? Well, you’re just going to have to come along to the Country Playhouse to find out – oh, and bring the kids too for an evening of family fun.
