Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Jr.
Don't miss this fun-filled family favorite musical, based on the beloved TV classic.
Follow your nose to the Forest Theater this holiday season! PacRep's SoDAonStage brings Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Jr. to life with the talented students of the Peppy Garner & Darnell Whitt School of Dramatic Arts.
Based on the beloved animated holiday special, this musical follows Rudolph as his glowing red nose sets him apart from the other reindeer. With new friends Hermey the Elf and Yukon Cornelius, he sets off on an adventure through the North Pole, and discovers that being different might be his greatest gift. Santa, Clarice, Bumble and more familiar faces join the fun.
Packed with holiday favorites like "A Holly Jolly Christmas", "Silver and Gold" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", this warm and playful production celebrates friendship, courage and finding your place to shine.
Adapted from the story by Robert L. May and the song by Johnny Marks. Music and lyrics by Johnny Marks; book by Robert Penola. Director and choreographer: Christiana Meeks.

Your visit to the Forest Theater
- All performances are 3:00 PM weekend matinees. Arrive early: the lot has limited space.
- The lot has limited parking; street parking is available. We recommend Mountain View, Santa Rita and 8th.
- Bring a picnic! Concessions are also on sale. Benches can be hard, so a cushion and a lap blanket help.
- It's an outdoor theatre: Carmel weather changes quickly, so dress in layers.
- Service animals are welcome.
- There are no refunds once tickets are purchased. Tickets may be exchanged for another performance (subject to availability) by contacting the Box Office at least 24 hours before the original performance. Except for FlexPAC holders, exchanges cost $3.00 per ticket.
Directions
From Highway 1: take the Ocean Avenue exit and continue past the first stop sign for two blocks. Turn left onto Santa Rita Street and continue to the bottom of the hill. The entrance gate is on the left, where Mountain View Avenue meets Santa Rita.
From downtown Carmel: go up Ocean Avenue to the junction of Ocean, Junipero and Mountain View. Bear right up Mountain View for 3 blocks; the Forest Theater gate is on your left.
There is a passenger drop-off area in the Forest Theater's main parking lot, so guests, picnic supplies, blankets and cushions can be dropped off before you park. Street parking is recommended on Mountain View and Junipero Street. Please don't block residential driveways: vehicles that do are ticketed and towed.
