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.
DECEMBER 4 - 20, 2026
Owen Meany's Christmas Pageant
From John Irving's Novel
A Prayer for Owen Meany
Directed by Kathleen Morrow
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
