The Providence Players at the James Lee Community Center Theater
2855 Annandale Road, Falls Church
Opening December 9, 2016 and playing for 9 performances, including 4 matinees, through December 18th, the Providence Players presents The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. A celebration of the holiday season’s transformative power, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a funny and heartwarming holiday tale that has become a classic: and good for the entire family! This special production is co-produced with The Young Hearts, a group of amazing teens who raise money to fight blood cancers and other diseases. Half of all net proceeds from this production will be donated to Young Hearts Foundation in pursuit of their important mission. Over the past three holiday seasons, over $24,000 has been generated to support this important cause, and, with your help, PPF hopes to significantly increase this total this year.

Based on the first book in Barbara Robinson’s popular Herdmans series, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, introduces us to the six “worst kids in the world.” This hilarious and heartwarming comedy, adapted for the stage by Robinson herself, follows the delinquent Herdman children, who attend church for the first time because they’re told there will be snacks. Over the rest of the town’s objections, the ne’er-do-wells are cast in the Christmas play — a sure-fire recipe for disaster. The entire town has gathers in anticipation, waiting to see the Herdmans ruin Christmas – or will they? All tickets are $17 and performances are general admission seating.

We first produced this show in 2012 and it proved to be our most popular holiday offering ever. We are mounting the the contemporary holiday classic again with WATCH award winning “Best Director” Liz Mykietyn at the helm and a brand-new cast of extraordinarily talented young people and adults. Once again, in keeping with our larger mission of “building community through theater”, we are partnering with The Young Hearts, a nationally recognized group of young people dedicated to raising funds to fight disease and support families facing life-threaten illness. Half of all net proceeds from this holiday production will be donated to the Young Hearts Foundation in pursuit of their important mission. Great theater for a great cause!
