Raleigh Little Theater's production of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" brings to life the classic story of the rowdy Herdmans, a Christmas pageant and the magic of the season. When the Herdman children are invited to take part in this year's Christmas pageant, everyone thinks it will be a disaster – but there might be a few surprises this holiday season.

The theater will also be collecting non-perishable food items during the show to support The Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.

Tickets for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" are $13 for adults and $9 for children 12 and under. They can be purchased online or by calling the box office at (919) 821-3111.
