Nickelodeon Parents' Pick for Best Local Blog in Atlanta
What: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Where: Center for Puppetry Arts
When: Nov. 18 – Jan. 2, 2010, see website for specific times
Cost: $16 for ages 2 and older
The holidays just wouldn’t be the holidays without Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and all the claymation specials from my childhood. I’m super excited about the Center for Puppetry Arts production of Rudolph. The Center is replicating the 1964 (didn’t realize it was that old) stop-motion animated special.
Although this is a new way to see the classic tale, the puppet makers at the Center for Puppetry Arts are faithfully adhering to the original story and characters – there’s not “interpretation” of the story. I appreciate that. I don’t like people messing with my childhood memories.
In addition to a great show, your admission also includes the Create-a-Puppet workshop, where you’ll make a Rudolph string puppet. Save a little time and tour the Center’s Museum as well.
We’re headed to see the show opening weekend. If you’d like to see the show too, we’re giving away a family four pack for opening weekend. Here’s what you need to do to win.
