Dirty Herdmans in church? Unheard of!!  Six really mean kids who’ve never heard the Christmas narratives bring a whole new perspective to a story all the church members consider sacred when they want to be in the Church Christmas Pageant.  The Herdmans’ fresh take on the Christmas story brings a round of scandalized questions from the “good kids” who have heard it so many times that they’ve grown so incredibly bored and indifferent.  But the actual Pageant is full of surprises, and the Herdmans may even have something to teach the rest of us, in the most unexpected and poignant of ways.

StageWorks!
