Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer™ Brings Holiday Magic to The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta

Step into holiday magic! Watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer™ performances live through Dec. 29

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, December 2, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This December, families are invited to step into a winter wonderland as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer™ returns to light up the stage at the Center for Puppetry Arts. Running through December 29, 2024, this cherished adaptation of the 1964 Rankin/Bass television classic transforms the heartwarming story of Rudolph into a magical live performance that has become a beloved holiday tradition.

This year’s production combines cutting-edge puppetry techniques—such as rod, blacklight, and body puppets—with stunning set designs that whisk audiences away to the snowy landscapes of Christmastown. The show captures Rudolph’s journey of self-discovery and acceptance, offering a meaningful experience for children and adults alike.

"Rudolph is so much more than a Christmas story. It’s a reminder that what makes us different can also make us extraordinary," says Beth Schiavo, Executive Director of the Center for Puppetry Arts. "This production holds a special place in our hearts, and we hope it continues to bring joy, wonder, and a sense of togetherness to all who come visit the Center and see the production."

Festive Features Exhibit That Enchants and Inspires:

Visitors can also enjoy the Festive Features special exhibition, which includes the original Santa and Rudolph puppets from the 1964 television special.

Highlights of Festive Features also include:

Jane Henson’s Nativity Story: A masterfully crafted crèche by the co-founder of The Jim Henson Company, celebrating the story of Jesus’ birth with stunning puppetry that engages all ages. The Center for Puppetry Arts is one of the few museums in the world to publicly showcase Jane Henson’s work, offering a rare chance to experience her artistry. This unique celebration of Christian tradition is also a tribute to an often-overlooked female pioneer in puppetry.

The Famous Chelm Players: Puppets by Robert Rogers bring Jewish folklore to life. Designed with intricate detail, the Chelm puppets evoke the shtetls (small Jewish towns) of the past, capturing the essence of Jewish cultural heritage. Originally performed in Rogers’ New York playhouse, the debut at the Center for Puppetry Arts marks a rare opportunity for audiences to see these whimsical puppets and learn about the timeless tales of Chelm.
