Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer jr. opens next Saturday

The Seaway Valley Theatre Company invites you to attend their 2022-2023 season’s children’s musical, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer JR,” a musical adaptation of the beloved 1964 television special.

This stage version of the holiday classic soars off the screen with memorable songs like “A Holly Jolly Christmas,” “We’re a Couple of Misfits,” and the title song. Featuring all of your favourite 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 also be what makes you special.

The show is produced by SVTC president Lise Richer and newcomer Angela Pilon, a member of the SVTC’s marketing committee. Sitting in the director’s chair for her first children’s show is longtime SVTC member Lesley Ellam, who has directed four of the company’s major musicals, including “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” and “Mamma Mia!” The creative team is rounded out by Stéphanie Charette as choreographer and Stephanie St. Louis as musical director.

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer JR.” will be staged at the Aultsville Theatre, 2 St. Lawrence Drive, Cornwall, on Saturday, December 3 at 1:30 and 4:00 PM, and on Sunday, December 4 at 1:30 PM. Reserved seats are $20.00, $18.00, and $15.00 each and can be bought in advance online at svtc.theticketwicket.ca or by phone at 613-933-3998. (Please phone if you require wheelchair seating.)
