The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
We’re excited to hold auditions for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (play version), by Barbara Robinson. Runway’s production will be directed by Amy Jackson and the production will run December 4-20, 2026. The story only a community could tell. What happens when the worst kids in town hijack the annual Christmas pageant? Unexpected magic. Total chaos. And a whole lot of laughs. The Herdman siblings may be wild, but they just might help everyone rediscover what this season is all about. A classic holiday comedy for families of every shape, size, and level of patience. Must set an appointment and review sides at the website provided.
10 roles
a genial and kind, but equally overwhelmed parishioner who takes over the annual Christmas pageant; mother to Beth and Charlie; wife to Bob.
husband to Grace and father to Beth and Charlie. A solid family man, though a bit distracted.

yet another pleasant, motherly woman who is part of the parish women's auxiliary.
