The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Auditions

Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for THE BEST
CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER

Located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton, Ohio 44702

SYNOPSIS:In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on
a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids--probably
the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't believe the mayhem -
and the fun - when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head
on! This delightful comedy is adapted from the best-selling Young Adult
book, and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States!
Features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite
Christmas Carols, and a lot of laughs!

*The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is presented by special arrangement with
SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. *
