2024 MainStage Season

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Directed by Holly Wood and Amy Palmer

November 29 – December 21

In this hilarious Christmas classic, 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!

This delightful show is adapted from the bestselling Young Adult book, and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States. The crowd-pleasing comedy features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas Carols, and lots of laughs.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever made its professional premiere at Seattle Children’s Theatre on November 26, 1982.

If there are no tickets available online there still may be seats available. 

Come to the box office a half-hour before showtime to standby for available seats.
