Learn how to create original theatre performances in a variety of collaborative ways. Devising performances collaboratively is an alternative to the traditional playwright to director path for plays. When you join this class you will learn the building blocks of devising as well as how to give and receive feedback to improve creative ideas.

The Springfield Little Theatre Education Department is excited to present THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER in its 2025-2026 Education Series! In THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide head-on with the story of Christmas!

This delightful show is adapted from the bestselling Young Adult book, and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States. The crowd-pleasing comedy features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas Carols, and lots of laughs.

Placement auditions for performers ages 8 through 18 will be held Monday, September 22nd, 2025 at 7:00 PM at The Judith Enyeart Reynolds School of the Performing Arts for Springfield Little Theatre ("The Judy"). At the auditions, participants will be taught a short movement combination and a portion of a song from the show and will be given and asked to perform a short line reading.

Check out the audition workshop on Sunday, September 14th 2025, to get a jump-start on the competition!

The cast and parent meeting/ first rehearsal will be held Wednesday, September 24th, 2025 at 7:00 PM at The Judy!

Rehearsals will begin Sunday, September 28th, 2025 and will run Sundays - Thursdays from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM. Not everyone will be called for every rehearsal.

Performances will be presented Friday, November 14th at 7:00 PM, Saturday, November 15th at 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, and Sunday, November 16th at 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM in The Reynolds Auditorium at The Judy.
