AUDITION INFORMATION​

 

The Strand Theatre announces auditions for its all-youth winter musical production, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Jr. 

The holiday classic soars off the screen in this Broadway Junior, 60-minute musical adaptation of the beloved television special. Filled with holiday hits like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas," Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer™ JR. features all of your favorite characters including Santa and Mrs. Claus, Hermey the Elf, Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster, Clarice, Yukon Cornelius and, of course, Rudolph. It’s an adventure that teaches us that what makes you different can be what makes you special. 

​

Because of his shiny nose, Rudolph doesn't feel like he belongs in Christmastown and sets off to find a place that accepts him. Along his journey, he encounters fellow misfits, only to realize that home is where he has belonged the whole time. When a storm threatens to keep Santa's sleigh from taking flight, it's up to Rudolph to save Christmas! 

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Jr. will be presented on December 19 and 20 at 2:00pm. Alex Hill will direct, Leslie Garrett will serve as music director, Meta Lasch will serve as technical director, and Chelsey Keding will serve as stage manager and choreographer.
