| Best Christmas Pageant Ever! |
Timmy Perlmutter’s Extraordinary Hanukkah explores one Jewish family’s eventful holiday experience. It includes Grandma Irene’s traditional food and a gift of an oversize knitted sweater for Tim. It continues through the arrival of the wayward Uncle Jerome, who gives Tim a live pony. That seems unreasonable for a home in Edmonds.
Will Tim overcome his feeling of loneliness, and find a new buddy after all? How will this Hanukkah story become extraordinary?
The second family friendly play is based upon Barbara Robinson’s hilarious Christmas Classic, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is about a family in which the mother, Grace Bradley, becomes responsible for the church Christmas pageant.
Stressful as that may be, Grace finds that the notorious Herdman children have joined the pageant and have claimed the leading roles. The Herdman kids have a reputation as the most inventively awful kids in history.
The struggle to create a perfect pageant brings lot of laughs. The situation may have been a bit unconventional, but the resulting pageant turns out to be, just possibly, the best Christmas Pageant ever.
For an evening of fun, bring the family to view the work of this wonderful cast and crew.
