One of the most beloved Christmas shows (and one of our most popular)
returns again to the playhouse. This play tells the story of six
children - the Herdman's - who are the epitome of naughty. Alright,
evil. They have never attended a church service in their life.
After they become a part of - rather, mutinize - the annual church play, the
question becomes whether this year's play will be the best ever or one that
is just soon forgotten. |

instrument. All actors will be trained to ring.
