Tickets for the 2010 Victoria Christmas Pageant, titled “Just Imagine... Christmas,” to be held Dec. 6-12, are now available and may be secured at the Northside Baptist Church of Victoria, 4100 N. Laurent St., or by calling 578-1568 or going online at www.nbcvictoria.org/pageant. Tickets are free, and performances will begin at 6:30 and 8:15 p.m.

The Victoria Christmas Pageant is presented annually to the community as a Christmas gift from the music ministry of Northside Baptist Church. The production, now in its 26th year, celebrates the traditional Christmas season as well as the sacred story of Christ’s life and resurrection. More than 9,000 people attended the pageant in 2009, and similar crowds are expected for the 11 presentations planned for this season.

Nearly 500 members of the congregation are involved in the cast chorus and production crew. The pageant features elaborate sets, detailed costumes and live animals.
