BULLHEAD CITY – Last week the River Cities Community Theater Players in conjunction with the Ghost Light Youth Theater and Ghost Light Children’s Theater presented ‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,’ a comedy play written and executed by the two groups at the Bullhead City Chamber of Commerce building in Community Park.

The play ran five consecutive nights culminating in last Saturday evening’s presentation. It centered on a high school Christmas play about the birth of Jesus that almost wasn’t as the people seeking to put it on kept stumbling into obstacles to getting it off the ground, but in the end it turned out the very obstacles to the event produced were the factors that made it such a special event in the end. 

30 performers and nine crew members brought the play to life and it drew in full houses for every performance.
