Childsplay, a Tempe-based theater for kids, will present “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer” with a run that goes every weekend from Nov. 16 through Dec. 23.

This stage version of the classic TV special follows the journey of Rudolph, Hermey the Elf, and Yukon Cornelius as they encounter the Abominable Snowman and journey to the Island of Misfit Toys. The show includes hits like “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Holly Jolly Christmas.”

The Storybook Preview of “Rudolph” takes place at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16 with a discounted ticket price of $15. Families who attend the preview performance will receive a free book, sponsored by The Steele Foundation.

Tickets for “Rudolph” start at $25 and are available at childsplayaz.org or by calling The Herberger box office at 602-252-8497.

The cast includes Wesley Bradstreet as Rudolph, Jon Gentry as Sam, Beau Hickman as Santa Claus, Ryan Ardelt as Hermy, Issie Ocampo as Clarice, Katie McFadzen as Coach Comet/Yukon Cornelius, Carlos Sanchez Beltran as Donner/Charlie in the Box, Debra K. Stevens as Mrs. Donner, Luz Navarro as Mrs. Claus, Jena Allen as Female Swing, and Zachary Sciortino as Male Swing.
