In this hilarious holiday tale, a replacement director who is struggling to put on the annual church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids -- probably the most inventively awful kids in history! You won't believe the mayhem -- and the fun -- when the Herdmans collide with the nativity story head on! "One of the best Christmas stories ever -- and certainly one of the funniest." (Seattle Times) Grace
Bradley:
Mother of Beth and Charlie, and new director of the Christmas pageant.
She's determined to make the pageant the best one ever, even with the
Herdmans. Bob
Bradley:
Grace Bradley's husband, is your average American father, but doesn't want
to go to the pageant almost as much as the kids. Helen
Armstrong:
In charge of the Potluck supper, Bazaar, and Christmas Pageant, until she
broke her leg, and then everything went to the dogs, or,
Herdmans. Charlie
Bradley:
The cute younger brother that could never do anything wrong, until that
fateful day Leroy stole his lunch... Beth
Bradley:
(Narrator in the play version) the oldest Bradley child, who is somewhat
like the voice of reason, at least a little bit. Alice
Wendelken: The goody-two-shoes girl that the adults love. Maxine:
The narrator in the pageant, just like Elmar
Hopkins:
Son of the reverend, perfect kid, an example to his fellow students, and
is hating every second of it. He's always Joseph, but he's too afraid of
Ralph Herdman to argue. Hobie
Clark:
The kid with all the excuses. He was already bored with the pageant, but
now he has to share it with the worst kids in the
world. David:
Charlie's best friend Reverend
Hopkins:
Elmer's father, who basically doesn't want anything to go wrong, and can
see nothing but that happening if the Herdman's are
involved. Ralph:
The biggest of the Herdmans. Always getting hit by Imogene and Gladys,
He's Joseph, but he doesn't really know or care what that
means. Imogene:
She tells them what to do, and they listen because, well, she's Imogene.
She's Mary, and that's the way she likes it. Leroy:
The schoolyard bully who always steals Charlie's lunch. He heard about the
refreshments at Sunday school and passed the information on to his
siblings. Although he's sort of like a thug, he gives the gift of a Ham to
Jesus. Ollie:
Always looking for trouble. Claude:
likes to set people on fire. Gladys:
She's the smallest, but she's fast, and she's mean, and she bites. Gladys
is now the Angel of the Lord, who she thinks is her favorite comic book
character, the Mighty Marvo. CAST
