2026-27 Season

Opening Night is Thursday, December 17, 2026

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.  It will be directed by Cristóban Morones.

 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 head-on with the story of Christmas! 

The cast includes Paige Paulette (as Grace Bradley), Alan Gaska (Bob Bradley), Madie Boyer (Beth Bradley), Robert McDermand (Charlie Bradley), Maddox Gaond (Ralph Herdman), Londyn Aycock (Imogene Herdman), Stihl Adams (Leroy Herdman), Amirabella Higginbotham (Claude Herdman), Kinsley Baeza (Ollie Herdman), and Penelope Winslett ((Gladys Herdman).

Also appearing are Heather Patterson, Carrie Butler Swann, Tammy Miller, Dakota Hauff, Ember Finch Stewart, Mars Scharer, Jeremiah Winslett, Faithlyn Stockman, Cadence Glazener, Kenzie Clark, Grayson Fos, JoJo Contreras, and Graham Payne.

Auditions were held on September 19 & 20.
