Pageant Material

Nov. 23, 2024

Want to shake up your holiday performances this year? The Best Christmas Pageant Ever hits the stage with the Mills Community House Association and the Benzie County Players on Nov. 30 at 6pm and Dec. 1 at 2pm. Based on Barbara Robinson’s bestselling 1972 novel (also the inspiration for the film of the same name playing in theaters now), the show follows a church putting on their annual Christmas pageant with the “bad kids” of the town in starring roles. Disaster or epiphany? You’ll have to find out. Find details at millscommhouse.org. Also beginning Nov. 30 (with dates running through Dec. 15 at locations throughout NoMi) is Madonnativity, an original musical from the creative minds at Mashup Rock & Roll Musical. What do you get when you combine a holiday show, Madonna hits, and a catastrophe or two? Pure Christmas magic. Learn more at mashuprockandrollmusical.com.
