Publisher's Description of Best Christmas Pageant Ever Movie Tie-In Edition
The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world.
They lie, steal, swear, and smoke cigars. So no one is prepared when
this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over
the annual Christmas pageant.
None of the Herdmans has ever heard
the Christmas story before. Their interpretation of the tale—the Wise
Men are a bunch of dirty spies—has a lot of people up in arms. And their
wild antics cause havoc throughout the play’s production. But the
actual pageant is full of surprises for everyone, starting with the
Herdmans themselves, as they ultimately lead the town in finding the
true meaning of Christmas. They will make this year’s pageant the most
unusual anyone has seen and, just possibly, the best one ever.
The annual Christmas pageant was safe and routine until the Herdmans, the worst kids in the history of the world, blackmail their way into all the main parts. What happens when kids who have never heard the story of Christmas interpret it for their new church? The audio version is unabridged and performed by Tony Award winning actress Elaine Stritch. Two discs; run time is 90 minutes. Perfect for trips "over the river and through the woods" or for nights together by the fire this Christmas. ~ Rachel D.
