WHATCo presents The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Based on the only cover story to ever run twice in McCall’s magazine, the beloved and irreverent novel “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” by children’s author Barbara Robinson, describes how a church play is hijacked by a Scripture-ignorant and all-around troublesome set of six siblings

Mrs. Robinson adapted the novel into the screenplay for a 1983 television movie that starred Loretta Swit as the pageant’s director. But the story found a much larger and more enduring audience in her adaptation of it as a play. Since the early 1980s it has been performed at Christmastime in churches and classrooms and children’s theaters across the country.
