"This is the story of the Herdmans, who are the worst kids in the history
of the world. They lie, they steal, they bully other kids, and they smoke
smelly cigars. There used to be only one place where you’d never see
them—church. This all changes when Charlie Bradley brags that his Sunday
school offers free snacks. All six of the Herdmans show up at church in
search of pizza, cookies and Hawaiian Punch, and end up in the Christmas
pageant. Charlie’s mom, Grace, is the novice director, who not only casts
them in the show but, much to the dismay of the other kids, let’s them play
all the leads. Grace instantly finds herself caught between two forces of
nature—the Herdmans and Helen Armstrong, who speaks for all of the outraged
citizens of the town. Grace has two choices: get rid of the Herdmans, or
let them stay and risk being blamed for the worst pageant in the history of
the world."

Book & Lyrics by Jahnna Beecham; Music & Lyrics by Malcolm Hillgartner.
Based on the play and book by Barbara Robinson.
