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.

A participation fee/ tuition helps meet some of the project's costs.

Get ready to make some noise!

Join us during the 2025-2026 school year for School’s Out, Play-in-a-Day workshops.  These workshops provide a unique opportunity for children to undergo training in the performing arts and are a lifesaver for parents when the kids are out of school!

Children ages 8 to 12 are invited to participate in a full day of creative play, including theatre games, improvisation, dance, and an art project. They will also tackle a script that they will perform at the end of the day! Bring a sack lunch, a water bottle, and an awesome attitude!

Get a jump-start on the competition by attending audition workshops!

An Audition Preparatory Workshop for Springfield Little Theatre's production of COME FROM AWAY will be offered Monday, October 27th from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM at The Judy.

Whether it’s your first audition or your 20th, everyone can benefit from a show’s audition workshop! Learn how to choose the material that’s best for you, develop your cold reading skills, improve your vocal selections, survive a dance audition, and make your very best impression!

Participants are asked to prepare a one-minute vocal selection and bring sheet music. An accompanist will be provided. If you need help finding a selection that works for you, no worries, we can help you accomplish that at the workshop! A movement combination will also be taught, and participants will have the opportunity to explore cold readings, as well.
