Watch 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever'


Bravo to Christ School Theater!

You won’t get a second chance to see Friday's performance of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" in person, but it has been posted to our YouTube channel here. and a photo gallery can be viewed at this link. 

The directorial debut for English instructor Katharine Hoffman starred students, faculty, and faculty children.

Mrs. Hoffman joined the faculty last year and did so with a natural affinity for Christ School. She is the daughter of Edward "Bru" Izard '69, who was the fourth boy in his family to join the Long Green Line. Mrs. Hoffman said she chose "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" for its appeal to all ages and community feel.

The story, first told in a 1972 novel by Barbara Hoffman, revolves around the Herdman siblings. Their reputation for bad behavior precedes them when the Herdmans volunteer to be in their town's Sunday school Christmas pageant. In the end, they teach the town the true meaning of Christmas.
