The Best Christmas Pageant Ever produced by the Metropolitan Theatre company on Mount Vernon’s stage. I play the mother opposite some of my former students! It’s a real thrill and lots of fun. The show runs just next weekend- Friday and Saturday (Sept 10 and 11) at 7PM and Saturday matinee at 4PM. Tickets are $6 for students/seniors and $10 for adults. Go to www.metrotheater.org for tickets and more information. It would be fun to see you in the audience!
