The Herdmans are absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie and steal and smoke cigars (even the girls). They talk dirty, hit little kids, and cuss their teachers.

Still, no one is prepared when the Herdmans invade church one Sunday and decide to take over the annual Christmas pageant. And their interpretation – the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and Herod needs a good beating – has a lot of people up in arms. But the actual pageant is full of surprises for everyone, starting with the Herdmans themselves!

Performed by adults and children. By Barbara Robinson. Directed by Cheryl and Larry Levy.

Funded in part by the Maxwell K. Pribil Memorial Fund.

Support the Midland Food Pantry! Please bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the Midland Food Pantry. Donations will be collected in the lobby prior to each show.

An unabashedly silly adaptation of the childhood classic with hip-hopping music, Wonderland! is an upbeat, coming-of-age story that will have audiences of all ages grinning like a Cheshire cat!

You’ll love the toe-tapping "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter" as well as the hysterical "I Was a Good Egg But Then I Done Went Bad."

Performed by 4th and 5th graders. Based on the novel Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. Book by James DeVita; music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur. Directed by Laurene Franjione and Amy Meilink.
