Shining Light Theater offers high-quality theatrical productions with Biblical messages, focusing on faith and God’s light.

“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” is a hilarious and heartwarming Christmas classic based on a best-selling young adult book by Barbara Robinson. Grace is determined to pull off the annual church Christmas pageant—despite the unexpected challenge of casting the six Herdman children, notorious for being the worst kids in town. Chaos, comedy, and surprises unfold as the Herdmans take over the production, turning the pageant upside down. But as the community braces for disaster, they all discover something unexpected: the true meaning of Christmas.
