Polish Christmas Customs at Miller-Cory House
December 11 Miller Cory House Museum Polish Christmas Customs - Program includes presentation on traditional Polish Christmas customs and preparation of traditional Polish Christmas foods on the open hearth The Best Christmas Pageant Ever at the Villagers Theatre
December 10-18, 2011 In this hilarious holiday story, the two directors of the Christmas pageant at the local church are struggling with all the little complications of this annual production. But, this year, they have a new, and much bigger problem—finding parts in the pageant for the horrible Herdman kids—possibly the most creatively maniacal and totally dreadful group of siblings in history. These kids are a pack of lying, stealing, cussing, cigar smoking terrors…the boys, too! The last place anyone expected to see them was in church. But you will want to see them. And you won’t want to miss the mayhem—and the fun!—for there will be no silent night when the uncontrollable, unholy Herdmans drop like a ton of yule logs on the once peaceful story of Christmas! General Admission - All tickets $10 Saturdays at 12NOON and 3:00PM, Sundays at 12NOON.
