The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
Written by: Barbara Robinson
Directed by: Anthony Haigh
The hilarious story of the efforts of a woman and her husband to put on the annual church Christmas pageant, despite having to cast the horrible Herdman kids -- probably the meanest, nastiest, most inventively awful kids in the history of the world.
"One of the best Christmas stories ever -- and certainly one or the funniest."
- Seattle Times
Pygmalion
Written by:
Bernard Shaw
Directed by: Kenneth Bordner
Based on classical myth, Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion plays on the complex business of human relationships in a social world. Phonetics Professor Henry Higgins tutors the very Cockney Eliza Doolittle, not only in the refinement of speech, but also in the refinement of her manner. When the end result produces a very ladylike Miss Doolittle, the lessons learned become much more far reaching. The successful musical My Fair Lady was based on this Bernard Shaw classic.(bartleby.com)
