(Original: December 1998; First Reprise 2005). The Company again reprised The Best Christmas Pageant Ever which tells the story of 6 children (The Herdmans) who are poorly behaved and not exposed to church. They go to church for the first time merely because they find out snacks are offered at Sunday School. Instead, they find themselves as the lead roles in the Christmas Pageant. Everyone thinks the Pageant will turn out to be a disaster, but they are pleasantly surprised.
