About this adventure

Grapevine's community theater stages Barbara Robinson's holiday comedy about the Herdman siblings, the 'worst kids in town', who take over the church Christmas pageant and end up reminding everyone what the season is about. The theater bills it as a classic holiday comedy for families and rates it PG for mild thematic material, brief depictions of bullying and references to underage smoking, so it suits school-age children and up; younger kids who sit through a full play will enjoy the chaos too. Performances run over three December weekends in Runway's intimate theater on North Dooley Street: evening shows at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 3 p.m., with an extra Saturday 3 p.m. matinee on the middle weekend, which is the easiest pick for families with early bedtimes. The box office opens 45 minutes before each performance; buy tickets through the theater's website in advance, as the house is small.
