A SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Comedy / 6w, 3m
By Jahnna Beecham & Malcolm Hillgartner Based on the book The Best School Year Ever by Barbara Robinson
This unforgettably hilarious play, adapted from the Young Adult book, follows the beloved characters from The Best Christmas Pageant Ever as they navigate a full school year at Woodrow Wilson Elementary.
Beth and Charlie Bradley fear starting another school year with their notorious classmates Imogene, Leroy and Gladys Herdman. When Miss Kemp assigns the students at Woodrow Wilson Elementary to think of compliments for their classmates and Beth picks Imogene’s name, an unforgettably hilarious school year commences – complete with a tattooed baby, a mysterious teachers’ lounge and a compassionate discovery that might prove there’s something good about this crazy clan after all.
The 1960s. A bedroom, two family kitchens, an elementary school, a storefront.
“An adventure of chaos, mischief and fun!” – Nashville Parent
“The story follows a student named Beth as she gets paired on a project with the Herdmans, a group of crazy kids who are up to any good. This group’s wild behavior and outrageous lies constantly lead to disaster, but Beth slowly learns that there is much more to this family than what meets the eye.” – Nashville Parent
