EMMY(R) AND GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINEE MELISSA GILBERT
WON'T BE UPSTAGED IN
"THE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT"
A HALLMARK CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE, HOLIDAY 2011
Robert Mailhouse, Ed Herrmann and Lennon Wynn Co-star;
Hallmark Channel's "Countdown to Christmas," Preeminent TV Holiday Destination
Emmy(R) and Golden Globe nominee Melissa Gilbert ("Little House on the Prairie") gets
top billing starring as a recently-fired-again, domineering Broadway director whose only job
option is getting a community Christmas play up and going in "The Christmas Pageant," a
Hallmark Channel Original Movie, Holiday 2011. Co-starring with Gilbert are Robert Mailhouse
("Love is a Four Letter Word," "Easy to Assemble"), Ed Herrmann ("Gilmore Girls") and Lennon
Wynn ("Flash Forward"). Hallmark Channel's "Countdown to Christmas," one of the most
anticipated seasonal events in entertainment, features more holiday-themed programming than
any other network.
Vera Parks (Gilbert), an overly intense and demanding Broadway director gets fired from
yet another job, leaving her no choice but to take a gig directing a small town Christmas
pageant in upstate New York. Stunned at how basic the production is, Vera attempts to back
out, but is convinced by some of the locals to give their town a chance. To her surprise, the
warmth and charm of the small town grows on Vera and she even enjoys the experience of
directing the pageant. When Vera discovers her former fiancé Jack (Mailhouse) recommended
her for the job, she is outraged. But over time Vera appreciates the gesture, as she grows
close to both Jack and his young daughter (Wynn). Will love stay in the wings this time
around? Or is this Vera's eleven o'clock number after all?
"The Christmas Pageant" is a Larry Levinson Production. Larry Levinson is the
executive producer. Randy Pope is co-executive producer. Jim Wilberger is the producer.
Dave S. Cass, Sr. directed from a script by Mark Valenti.
