Monday Night Movie: "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"

Darien Library presents: Monday Night at the Movies!

This week we are showing “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever."

“The Herdman kids are absolutely the worst. They lie, they steal, they bully…and they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace (Judy Greer) is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth (Molly Belle Wright) and husband Bob (Pete Holmes) are less than amused. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas.” – Lionsgate Films
