The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world–so when they crash Sunday school and demand parts in the Christmas pageant, the whole town panics. There’s not supposed to be biting or cigar-smoking in Bethlehem, and while these kids have never even heard the Christmas story, they definitely have rewrites! Soon everyone is calling for reluctant director Grace Bradley to cancel the whole thing. It’s up to Bradley and the Reverend to help their community see the Christmas story and the Herdman kids through new eyes in this buoyant musical adaptation of the funny and touching holiday classic.
Tickets: $15 Adult & Senior $10 Student
Tickets on-sale starting November 1st!

Treasurer’s Report
Items for Discussion
Community Communication
We are blessed to live, work, and serve in a community rich with engaged citizens and groups. Our entire community wants to see Onancock thrive. However, when our groups operate with similar yet distinct missions, we sometimes can cross over each other. We want to avoid that and instead work together, support, and complement each other.
In the two most recent OBCA meetings, we have scratched the surface of a deep conversation about how we can all communicate effectively with one another, keeping us informed and enlisting support when needed. We would like to spend a dedicated amount of time to continue this conversation and invite all to join in the discussion.

Javed is a Pakistani teenager who experiences racial and economic turmoil while living in Luton, England, in 1987. He writes poetry as a way to escape the intolerance of his hometown and the stubborn views of his traditional father. When a classmate introduces him to the music of Bruce Springsteeen, Javed sees parallels between the singer’s powerful lyrics and his own working-class environment.
