The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WALLA WALLA-The Little Theatre of Walla Walla will stage the comedy The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson with performances November 22 through December 8.

In this 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. Mayhem - and fun for the audience – ensues when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on! This hilarious yet heartwarming story involves Three Wise Men, a ham, scared shepherds, and six rowdy kids.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is directed by Robert G. Randall and Cheryl Sutlick with assistance from Kaelyn Nelson, and is produced by Barb McKinney with the permission of Samuel French. This production receives financial support from Lash Loft, Double T Concrete Construction, and the Port of Walla Walla.

Performances are November 22, 23, 29, 30, December 6, and 7 at 7:30 p.m. and November 30, December 1, 7, and 8 at 2:00 p.m. To give families with young children more opportunities to see this production, two Saturday matinees are included, in addition to the usual Sunday matinee options. Patrons who have purchased tickets for a performance are encouraged to arrive early for cookies with Santa and Mrs. Claus, 30 minutes before show time.
