Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson returns to the Contois Auditorium stage in Burlington's City Hall for a five-show, two-weekend run, every December. Pageant brings the expected warmth of the holiday season with a delightful twist. Anyone who has ever been involved with the annual Christmas pageant at school or at church will recognize the trials of Grace Bradley as she "inherits" the task of directing this year's production. Most of us, though, have never had to deal with the likes of the Herdmans--undoubtedly the meanest, nastiest, most inventively awful kids in the entire history of the whole wide world. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and the newly added HollyDaze Pre-Show Sing-Along together features a cast of over 35 children and 10 adults. Numerous sets of talented parents and their children will share the stage this year. Some ensemble members are making their 2nd and 3rd appearances in this holiday classic. popular
