The Colony Playhouse presents ‘Best Christmas Pageant’

The Colony Playhouse will present six performances of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” on Dec. 9-11 and Dec. 16-18 at the Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater.

Evening shows will start at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday both weekends, with a 3 p.m. matinee both Sundays. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for students and seniors, and can be purchased by visiting thecolonyplayhouse.org or calling 972-625-1726. Advance tickets cannot be purchased at MCL Grand.

In this hilarious tale, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids, who are probably the most inventively awful kids in history. Through the course of the play, the Herdmans learn the true meaning of Christmas – and help the people around them to remember the heart of the season as well.

This delightful comedy is adapted from the best-selling book by Barbara Robinson. The performance at MCL Grand is directed by Martin Mussey and produced by special permission with Samuel French, Inc.

The Colony Playhouse is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to enrich, educate and entertain the community by providing a superior experience in theatre and performing arts. The goal is to create theater by children, for children, and create an artistic experience in which whole families can participate.

Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater, located at 100 N. Charles St., between Main and Church streets, opened in January. The 40,000-square-foot facility features a 296-seat proscenium theater, black box theater, dance recital hall, art gallery, five art classrooms and a large courtyard. Medical Center of Lewisville reached a multi-year agreement with the city last year for naming rights at the center.

To reach the MCL Grand from Interstate 35E, take exit 452 and proceed east on Main Street to Charles Street. MCL Grand will be on the left. Free public parking is available along Main and Church streets, or at Lewisville City Hall across Church Street from the center. Parking is not allowed on the grass lot across Church Street from MCL Grand.
