| Stone’s Throw Dinner Theatre in Carthage is presenting Barbara Robinson's The Best Christmas Pageant Ever on December 3-6 and 10-13, 2009.
Opening night will feature the Bell Choir from the First Baptist Church of Lamar and during the performance on December 12 Rob Pommert will entertain the audience on classical guitar. Santa Claus will appear from noon until 2 p.m. on December 6 and from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on December 11. Those in attendance are encouraged to bring cameras to take photos of their children with Santa.
The show, with a large cast directed by Betty Bell and assisted by Betsy Fleischaker and Judy Boyd, is a comedy about the misbehaved Herdman kids who bully their way into performing the lead roles in the Sunday School's annual Christmas pageant without having opened a Bible. As one may imagine, mayhem ensues.
