This CVFT adaptation of Barbara Robinson's novel “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” stars Grace Bradley who inherits the job of running her church's Christmas pageant when the woman who usually does it breaks her leg tripping over the extremely long wire she has on her telephone.

Not only does Grace inherit this disaster it gets worse when the Herdman kids - all six of them, audition. The Herdmans are notorious for abusing each other and stealing from and abusing other kids as well. They smoke, steal, lie, bully and generally create havoc in their town.

Their father disappeared years earlier and mother works two shifts at the shoe factory to support herself and the kids while the kids run wild.

But this WILL be the best Christmas pageant ever when the Herdman kids learn the Christmas story and about the true meaning of Christmas.
In his typical artistic style, Director Randy Herget (Peter Pan, and Buddy Holly) adds to this comedy set in the late 50’s/early 60’s by sprinkling the performance with several vignettes of classic Christmas Carols from iconic artists of that era (Like Perry Como and Andy Williams)! This is a must see this holiday season!
