Still The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!

As I told you a little while ago, Rachael is in a play, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! for the Lee's Summit Community Theatre.

The play is about the Herdmans, a family of children who sign up for the Christmas pageant at church, when they’re told there are free snacks at practice.

The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear, and hit little kids. 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 and Herod needs a good beating -- has a lot of people up in arms. But it will make this year's pageant the most unusual anyone has seen and, just possibly, the best one ever.


Tickets are $6 and are available at the door or from any actor in the show. Proceeds go to benefit Giant Step Special Needs Day School - a nonprofit for physically and mentally handicapped children and their siblings in the Kansas City Area.


There will be 3 performances on Saturday, December 10 at 11 am, 1 pm, & 7 pm. The play will be performed in the upper level of Paradise Park (located at 1021 NE Colburn Road in Lee’s Summit).


This fundraiser will benefit a wonderful group of kids. Please come out next weekend to help make their holiday season a wonderful one.
