The ‘Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ now playing on stage
The Henderson County Performing Arts Center in association with Weinstein Law Firm and Genesis Home Care & Hospice Care announces the opening of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 10, 11, 12. Saturday and Sunday matinees will be at 2 p.m. on Dec. 6, 12.
The play will be presented on the Whataburger Stage at the theatre complex on Gibson Road in Athens. Ticket price is $15 for adults and $10 for students and children.
This hilarious and endearing holiday play is for the whole family and is presented with an entirely school –age cast.
The show demonstrates important lessons of tolerance and patience, and that things and people might not be just exactly as they appear.
The Best Christmas Pageant is made up of a cast of 53 children ages 4 to 14 who are part of the Youth Excellence on Stage (YES) Company of the theater. This is the 17th season that the YES Company has performed in the Christmas production.
This is also the last chance to take advantage of great savings on 2010 season tickets through the theatre’s second phase of its “early bird special.”
You can contact the theatre for details on how you can buy 2010 tickets for as low as $7 per show. That is 50 percent off the box office price.
Tickets for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever may be purchased by calling the theatre’s box office at (903) 675-3908 extension 101, or by going online at www.hcpac.org.
