Directed by Dallas Jenkins, ‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever‘ is an adventure comedy film about the Herdmans, who are absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, they steal, they bully… and now they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. The story follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth and husband Bob are in over their heads, especially against a town that wants them to kick the Herdmans out. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas.
‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ stars Judy Greer, who plays the roles of Grace, Pete Holmes (as Bob), Molly Belle Wright (as Beth), and Lauren Graham (as Adult Beth). The story is based on Barbara Robinson’s 1972 children’s novel of the same name, with screenplay written by Ryan Swanson, Platte F. Clark & Darin McDaniel. The film is produced by Kevin Downes, Jon Erwin, Andrew Erwin, Darin McDaniel, Chet Thomas, and Daryl Lefever, with executive producers Dallas Jenkins, Jennifer Booth, Gerald R. Molen, Mark Kendell, Tony Young, Christopher Woodrow K., and Blaine Johnston.
