OCC Rep. Theatre Co. presents “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”

Back by popular demand, the Ocean County College Repertory Theatre Company is taking their production of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” to the Black Box Theatre at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts from December 6 through December 16.

In this hilarious and heartwarming tale, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – possibly 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!
