The story of the Herdman siblings, considered the worst kids in the world, who decide to participate in their town's Christmas pageant, leading to chaos, unexpected joy, and the discovery of the true meaning of Christmas. The play follows the town's struggle to manage the disruptive Herdmans, who inadvertently teach everyone about compassion and the holiday spirit, blending humor and touching moments to create a beloved classic.

The Bennington Community Theatre is driven towards creating and implementing cultural and educational activities for the public benefit by providing theatrical arts opportunities for community participation.

Donna Dahlsten and Blake Thompson previously met when working at the Hastings (Nebraska) Community Theatre. When they happened to meet in Bennington while Donna was still working with the Hastings Community Theatre, they both expressed their desire to start a community theatre in Bennington due to missing the production and performance of community theatre. After considering giving back to their small-town communities, Donna and Blake determined that Bennington was the perfect place. In June 2023, the Bennington Community Theatre was born.
