The Theatre of Gadsden is proud to announce the cast of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! We want to thank all who came out to share their time and talents with us, and hope to see you all at the next audition. If you were not cast this time, we will be having auditions for many shows upcoming, and encourage everyone to return for our future shows.

The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world--so when they crash Sunday school and demand parts in the Christmas pageant, the whole town panics. There's not supposed to be fighting or cigar-smoking in Bethlehem, and while these kids have never even heard the Christmas story, they definitely have rewrites! Soon everyone from the terrified pint-sized shepherds to the furious church ladies is calling for first-time director Grace to fire the Herdmans. But it's up to Grace and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic. Silent night? Not a chance. But sometimes a little joyful noise is just right for Christmas.
