This holiday season, double the pageants, double the fun! We’re presenting two Christmas shows in repertory - same sets, shared themes, but two very different shows!
Owen Meany’s Christmas Pageant turns the holiday stage on its head in this irreverent, darkly humorous take on a small-town Christmas. Owen is tired of his role as an angel and determined to play the Baby Jesus, sparking chaos and cunning schemes. The children are played by adults, amplifying the hilarity, while clever physical humor turns this holiday tradition into a riotous spectacle. Though cheeky and mischievous, the play still finds moments of poignancy, making it a clever, grown-up antidote to holiday sweetness. Live at the Bingen Theater in Bingen, WA, just across the bridge from Hood River.
DECEMBER 4, 5, 10, 12, 18, 19 & 20, 2026

RUN TIME
The play itself is just over an hour long, but there will be live musicians giving Christmas concerts each night for about 30-45 minutes, so the total run-time of the evening is about 2 hours, including a 20-minute intermission.
RATING
This show is recommended for ages 12 and up due to some language and sexual innuendo. It is an irreverent comedy and doesn't shy away from that.
SEATING
The theater will open 60 minutes before the show. The bar will be open during this time.
​
Seating will open 30 minutes before the show.
