Pageant Disaster Saves Christmas? Stage Right Presents Classic Holiday Story

Williamstown, KY – Stage Right Musical Theatre Company is delighted to announce its upcoming production of “The Best Christmas Pageant” by Barbara Robinson. This adaption, by the book’s author herself, showcases the talents of 20 kids from all over the Tri-State Area.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever tells the story of a small-town church’s Christmas Pageant
being turned upside down by the arrival of the worst kids who ever lived: The Herdmans.
Through the chaos of improvising angels, cigar smoke in the bathroom, and some messy
rehearsals – The family in charge of this year’s pageant finds true meaning in the story they are so used to telling every year. At the end it leaves them asking, did the Herdmans actually save Christmas?

season,” says Director Emily Hilbrecht. “It reminds us that the Christmas story belongs to
everyone, even the Herdmans, and maybe especially them.”

The production stars Echo Mizer, Clayton Becker, Oaken Mizer, Sammy Maiden, Ivy Mizer,
Abby Sams, Samuel Becker, Ruthie Becker, Jaxson Henry, Rosie Becker, Morgan Henry, Lily
Hobson, Addison Johnson, Eden-Shay Wolfe, Elaine Becker, Vivian DiChiara, Jackson
