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.

Unger and Madison are at it again! Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, in Neil Simon’s hilarious contemporary comic classic: the female version of The Odd Couple. Instead of the poker party, divorcee Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit in her untidy apartment. Late to arrive is Florence Unger, who has just separated from her husband. Fastidious, depressed, and none too tense, Florence seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds, Olive becomes the one with murder on her mind when the clean freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together. The action unfolds with hilarious results.

Making God Laugh follows one typical American family over the course of thirty years’ worth of holidays. Starting in 1980, Ruthie and Bill’s grown children – a priest, an aspiring actress, and a former football star, all return home, where we learn of their plans and dreams as they embark on their adult lives. The empty-nester parents contend with their own changes, too as old family rituals are trotted out and ancient tensions flare up. As time passes, the family discovers that despite what we may have in mind, we often arrive at unexpected destinations.

Soon, a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale!
