DEC. 18 & 19: THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGAENT EVER The Saturday, December 18, 2021 at 3:00 pm and Sunday, December 19, 2021 at 3:00 pm; Andy Griffith Playhouse, 218 Rockford Street, Mount Airy. Masks are required for all audience members. Reserved Seat Tickets: Preferred $20; Orchestra $15; Ralph, Imogene, Leroy, Claude, Ollie, and Gladys Herdman are an awful bunch. They set fire to Fred Shoemaker’s toolshed, blackmailed Wanda Pierce to get her charm bracelet, and smacked Alice Wendelken across the head. And that’s just the start! When the Herdmans show up at church for the free snacks and suddenly take over the Christmas pageant, the other kids are shocked. It’s obvious that they’re up to no good. But Christmas magic is all around and the Herdmans, who have never heard the Christmas story before, start to reimagine it in their own way. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., a Concord Theatricals Company.
