McNicholas Theatre Presents The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
McNicholas Theatre Presents The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
The McNicholas Theatre Department proudly announces its upcoming performance of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. The play will run December 5-7 at McNicholas High School in the Jeanne Spurlock Theatre.
Just in time for the holidays, this chaotic classic is a heartwarming story about a community who discovers the true meaning of Christmas when a group of disruptive siblings participates in the annual Christmas pageant.
The cast and crew are also teaming up with Catholic Charities of Southern Ohio for a Holiday Toy Drive to benefit refugee families relocating to Cincinnati. You can participate by bringing new, unwrapped toys to the Jeanne Spurlock Theatre when you come to watch any of the play's performances!
Join us for what promises to be a cheerful show!
General Admission $10
This show is appropriate for all ages!
