I’ve had the honour to be asked to work with a local children’s theatre group who are rehearsing for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, based on the book by Barbara Robinson. The plot goes something like this: there are six brothers and sisters in the Herdmans family who are all extremely badly behaved. They scream, steal, bite and are all-round delinquents who somehow find themselves involved in the annual Christmas Play. My role as photographer was to create portraits of these children in character, doing the “naughty” things that have made them renowned. Below is a sample of the images that will be projected on screen during the play. Keep an eye on www.angelacoulombe.com for more information about the dates and locations of this play.

Mean and moody, this guys a shouter!

This shady character has a bit of a light hand.

This guy is the school bully either pushing kids into or up against lockers.

This fellow is know for his run-ins with the police and stealing from the needy.

This girls has got some chompers on her. Watch out, she bites!

Watch your parked car around this girl! She’ll take a key to the side of it as fast as you can say "Wot?"

Scratching up a good paint job.

Getting into even more trouble at school.

Bullying isn’t out of the ordinary for this fellow.

He’s not speaking about trouble at school, he’s shouting about it!

Pushing students into lockers is just his way of having fun.

Just don’t make him mad!

Stealing from the local food drive - how low can you go?

Nicked again!

Biting into her brother is a daily occurance.

He’s gotta take his anger out on someone!

Stealing from the church collection basket now that really takes the biscuit!
