The story follows a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant faced with casting the Herdman kids — known for their awful behavior. Mayhem and fun ensue when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head-on.

Our Town Players was formed in 1995 as a community theater program sponsored by Franklin Parks & Rec. The group was founded by the trio of Sharon Hood, Lynne Schuetz and Sandy Goottee.
