“Pageant!”, is a musical about how a traditional Christmas Pageant changes and brings the community together. The story centers around the parish of St. Genesius. They are falling on hard times and the answer to their revival is to produce a new and exciting Christmas Pageant! Taking a more modern approach, see how the adults, kids and the whole community come together in this one act musical comedy.
Since 1999, the Conservatory’s annual tuition-free holiday musical has been a beloved community institution and an effective theatre arts outreach program, supported by generous donors who have given over $900,000. In its 22-year history, the musical has been seen by 18,000 enthusiastic audience members and performed by 1,600 performers since its first performance. The Concordia Conservatory annual holiday community musical provides an opportunity for area youth to participate, without regard to family financial situation and disability.
