They’re baaaaaaaack! The notorious Herdman children from The Best Christmas Pageant ever are back at Main Street Theater in The Best School Year Ever, based on the book, also by Barbara Robinson. The show is recommended for Third Grade and older.
When anything goes wrong at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School, a Herdman probably did it! So when the teacher assigns a project that forces the students to think of compliments for their classmates – including the Herdmans – we learn a valuable lesson of not judging a book – or a Herdman! – by their cover! Buckle up for a wild ride involving a missing gerbil, a crazy cat, and more that will have audiences of all ages laughing! Recommended for 3rd Grade and older.
*** WoodlandsMommy Editor's Note: This play includes a Herdman with a cigar in their mouth. They do not light it. Please reference pages 5 & 67 in the book for more information.
