Footliters - In the spirit of the season, The Young Footliters will be performing The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. The performances will be at the Iowa City Community Theatre located on the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Building A. The show will run November 16 and 17 at 7 pm and November 18 at 2 pm.
Adapted from the best-selling children’s book written by Barbara Robinson, this play is sure to entertain both children and adults. The young performers bring to life the meaning of the upcoming holiday season. The show focuses on the Herdman children who were possibly the worst behaved children in the world. When they decide to see what church is all about, they end up with the main parts in the annual Christmas show. In spite of rehearsals filled with mayhem and children gone wild, the show magically turns out to be the best Christmas pageant ever.
As Co-Director, Becky Dagle, explains, "I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into when I decided to try my hand at directing. I sometimes find myself identifying a little too closely with Grace Bradley, the mother in this play, who ends up directing the Christmas pageant when the experienced pageant director falls ill! Besides being humorous, this is a story about accepting people who may be different from yourself. You may just find they aren’t as bad as you think." Mary Loops is the other Co-Director for the performance of this show.
