The
Best Christmas Pageant Ever By Barbara Robinson The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a delightful comedy, adapted from the best selling American classic book written by Barbara Robinson. 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. You won’t believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on! "An American classic."-- McCall's Magazine "One of the best Christmas stories ever-- and certainly one of the funniest."-- The Seattle Times This delightful comedy is adapted from the best selling book and the only story ever to run twice in McCall's Magazine.

Whose Wives Are They Anyway?
by Michael Parker, The author of "Sex Please We're Sixty" The Ashley Maureen Cosmetics Company has been sold and two of its vice presidents, David McGrachen and John Baker, have planned a weekend off before the new C.E.O. arrives on Monday. With their wives safely off on a shopping spree in New York City, they check into The Oakfield Golf and Country Club intending to "golf their brains out." They unexpectedly encounter their new boss, Ms. Hutchison, and she insists on meeting the wives, commenting blithely "no one who went golfing for a weekend without his wife would ever work for me." So ... David and John have to produce wives. John persuades Tina, the hotel's sexy receptionist, to play the role of his wife, but the only one who can pretend to be David's wife is John. Inevitably everything goes wrong as John moves in and out of bedrooms, changing from male to female at a frantic pace. Hilarious chaos ensues when the hotel phone system goes on the blink, Tina has too much champagne and can't keep her clothes on, and, yes, the real wives arrive! "Another Michael Parker farce is all audiences need to know to start buying tickets." -Palm Beach Post "An entertaining evening of deftly executed comedy." - The Delray Times "A veritable laugh riot." - The Boca Raton News

Nunsense by Dan Goggin Nunsense begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth grade production of “Grease.” Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. Featuring star turns, tap and ballet dancing, an audience quiz, and comic surprises, this show has become an international phenomenon. With more than 5000 productions worldwide, it has been translated into 21 languages. Winner of four Outer Critics Circle Awards including Best Off Broadway Musical in its original New York production. "A hail of fun and frolic! Wacky and outrageous with a hysterical anything goes sense of fun!" N.Y. Times. "You don't have to be Catholic to love Nunsense!" Entertainment Tonight. "Inspired madness! Go see it!" Jewish Post and Opinion. "Guaranteed to lift your spirits...Very, very funny." National Catholic News.
