The Herdmans show up at the church Christmas Pageant tryouts and everyone is horrified. Why?…..
Because they are horrible children – they steal, burn down buildings, and terrorize the neighborhood. In fact, their classmates only feel safe from them at church. That is, until an innocent comment brings the Herdmans into church and starring in the annual Christmas pageant. Soon even the congregation is running for cover!
But who would have guessed that the parents, teachers, children, and especially the Herdmans could end up discovering the true meaning of the season?
Find out why everyone is in such an uproar over the Herdmans, and how they turn a series of disasters into what everyone agrees is The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
