Imagine Bรฉbรฉยs kids in a school holiday play, and youยve got a good idea of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Grace Bradley steps in at the last minute to direct the school play after the original director conveniently breaks her leg. Not only is Grace racing against the clock to get everything done, sheยs faced with the Herdman kids, a bunch of rowdy, mean, devious kids whoยve decided they want to be in the pageant this year. Can she make little angels out of them? Or will this turn out to be the Christmas pageant from hell? Find out at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through December 20, with additional shows 2 p.m. December 14, and 7:30 p.m. December 18. Country Playhouse, 12802 Queensbury Lane.
