The Brightest Most Shiniest Star You Ever Did See
By Conrad Belau
A Verb Theatre Production
About the show:
“Hi! It’s Eunice and I hope this gets to you! I’m so sorry, tonight’s presentation of Salem Lutheran Church’s 1997 Christmas Pageant has been CANCELLED! Gloria is so disappointed, so please don’t show up. She may be there singing up a storm and still trying to bring the Christmas cheer. But again, I must emphasize, there is no show. So do not go.
Also! I’m not sure if you heard about Sally and Bud!”
When Salem Lutheran Church’s 1997 Christmas Pageant is cancelled, it is up to Gloria to step up to the plate and serve a genuine home-cooked experience–including some good ol’ hymns and church stories (with a splash of sass). The Brightest Most Shiniest Star You Ever Did See is a joyful, drag adjacent holiday comedy that celebrates the brightest people in our lives.
The Brightest Most Shiniest Star You Ever Did See is the first play in the Gloria in excelsis Trio Trilogy.
First developed as a part of Verb Theatre’s 24/25 Queer & Trans Playwrights Unit.
