The worst kids in the world hijack the Annual Christmas pageant.
Get ready for a not-so-silent night. 

The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world — they lie, they steal, they even smoke cigars — and this Christmas, they're hijacking the church pageant. What could go wrong? Everything. What actually happens? Something like a miracle. Based on the beloved book that's charmed families for fifty years, this riotously funny holiday musical is about what happens when the people nobody wants get handed a story everybody needs. Bring the whole family, and meet the Herdmans. Get ready for a not-so-silent night.
