Christmas Theatre for Families
Panhandle Community Theatre presents The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, written by Barbara Robinson and directed by Sylvia Love, December 5-8 and 12-15. In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids—probably the most inventively awful kids in history. For more info, call (850) 221-7599 or visit http://panhandlecommunitytheatre.com/. Pensacola Little Theatre presents Miracle on 34th Street directed by Kathy Holsworth December 13-15 and 19-22. By chance, Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, gets a job working as Santa for Macy’s. Kris unleashes waves of goodwill with Macy’s customers by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as deluded and dangerous, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing. At stake, the belief in Santa Claus. A family favorite during the holidays.
