For more than 100 years, The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati (TCT) has been the first live theatre experience for countless children throughout the Tristate.

Begun in 1919, TCT presented The Snow Maiden in 1948, but its first specifically holiday show was Christmas Carol, in 1974. Since then, TCT has produced a number of shows for the festive season, from A Charlie Brown Christmas to Elf. The tradition continues with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Jr.

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Jr. . is a great show for all ages,” says Kelly Holtgrefe, digital marketing manager for TCT. “The holiday show is so special because it gives families a chance to come to the theatre, be entertained, and enjoy quality time together.”

The holiday classic soars off the screen in a 60-minute musical adaptation of the beloved television special. Filled with holiday hits like “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “A Holly Jolly Christmas,” the show features all 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.

“Attending as a family is a great holiday present because it’s an experience they can all have together. Experiential gifts are becoming more popular and this is a great opportunity for the whole family.”
