CREATING A FAMILY TRADITION since 1938 - Come experience the Christmas Spirit at the 71st Annual Rickreall Christmas Pageant in 2011!
If you have not attended before, we hope to see you at this year’s performance. Perhaps like many others you will make it part of your annual tradition with family and friends to witness the events leading up to the birth of Jesus. Many say the experience is like being there with the Shepherds, Wise Men, and others following the signs to Bethlehem.
The Rickreall Christmas Pageant has been a tradition in Rickreall since 1938 and has always been held in the auditorium of the Rickreall Grade School, now known as the Rickreall Event Hall. It has been given every year with the exception of war-time years 1942-44. The Pageant has always been free. It is presented through the voluntary efforts of over 150 cast, chorus, committees and individuals and your generous donations. Lovingly prepared and presented with props, costumes and music remaining true to those first used in 1938. Local firefighters direct traffic and areas for parking. The Pageant has become more than a dramatization of the birth of Jesus. It has become this tiny community’s gift back to the greater community around us.
