Directed by Reed Christian, the show based on the book by Barbara Robinson features a cast and crew made up of 89 district students in grades 2-12.
“This uproarious Christmas show follows the Bradley family as they struggle to present a church Christmas pageant,” Christian said of the plot. “ Unfortunately, the Herdman children, the most feared and ill-behaved children in the community, decide they want to be cast as Mary, Joseph, the Angel of the Lord, the wise men and the shepherds. Chaos, pandemonium, and a great deal of fun are the result as these holy terrors begin to understand the real meaning of the Christmas season.”
