The Pitch

I am thrilled to present two original songs perfectly tailored for "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" movie! I have been reading this book every year since I was a little kid - and this last Christmas I read it to my own kids (who often still pray for the Herdmans). I know this story, I cherish this story, and I crafted these songs ever so carefully to reflect the heart of Barbara Robinson’s incredible tale.

My first song is an emotional piece called, "Don't Offend the Room". I wanted to have a song that zoomed in on the lives of these troubled kids, as well as the closed hearts of the town that so readily discarded them.

"Hey! A Child is Born!" is an upbeat, joyous Christmas song about the journey to the stage for the yearly pageant. From the initial apprehension to the unpolished beauty that was observed under candle light that powerful night.

These songs are sure to resonate with the audience of your film while capturing the essence of this timeless story. It was an absolute joy to live in the pages of this beloved book while writing these songs and I hope you will consider them for the film.
