With Christmas fast approaching the Elora Community Theatre staged The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. The show was directed by Deb Stanson and Jim Monaghan with a message of unity. In the play about a play, two groups of youngsters come together under a new director to present a church play and overcome friction between the groups, to tell the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. The play began Dec. 9 and continues Dec. 16 to 18.
