The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, say things they shouldn’t, and hit little kids. So no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant. None of the Herdmans has ever heard the Christmas story before. Their interpretation of the tale, the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and Herod needs a good beating–has a lot of people up in arms. But it will make this year’s pageant the most unusual anyone has seen and, just possibly, the best one ever. “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” is a powerful story of misunderstanding, faith and redemption. Through most of the play, the audience can’t stop laughing, but by the end most will be watching the show through tears. A great, fun holiday experience for any age and sure to become a modern Christmas classic. A one-act production, approximately one hour in length.

The Capitol Theater brings to their big screen the beloved Christmas comedy A Christmas Story on December 7th at 7:30 PM as part of the Classics at the Capitol Series. Tickets will be only $5.00 and will be available at the door and online.

Released by MGM in 1983, A Christmas Story takes place in 1940s America centered on the hopes and dreams of Ralphie, an average kid who only dreams of one thing for Christmas—a Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle BB gun. Ralphie must survive those endless days leading up to school break, schoolyard bullies, his family, and aunts who send truly bizarre gifts to make it to Christmas morning.

Based upon the works of humorist Jean Shepherd—who served as the film ’s narrator—and directed by Bob Clark, A Christmas Story was released at Thanksgiving 1983 to mostly mixed reviews and a modest performance at the box office. However, thanks to home video and its many appearances on TV, A Christmas Story has become a beloved tradition for many.

A Christmas Story will be introduced by local film writer Andy Ross, “So many people last year would ask me ‘when are you going to show A Christmas Story?’ It would happen time and time again. This is a movie that people consider a part of their own family. I’m thrilled we can bring it to our big screen at the Capitol this holiday season.”

After overwhelming demand last year, the Capitol will present two shows on December 8th at 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Tickets for the event will cost $5.00 and will be available at the door and online. The 1989 movie stars Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo as Clark and Ellen Griswold, the family who tries have to the perfect vacations and holidays only to find circumstances that get in the way.

The third film in the Vacation franchise, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation finds Clark Griswold wanting to bring his entire family together for “an old-fashioned family Christmas.” With relatives piling in and the pressure mounting, Christmas Vacation is a film that truly to brings to life the frantic time that the Christmas season can be.

Written by John Hughes and directed by Jeremiah Chechik, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation was a massive hit upon its release in December 1989. As the years have passed, Christmas Vacation has become one of the most quotable films ever made, has stood the test of time to be more than just an ’80s box office hit, and has become a bonafide Christmas and comedy classic.
