This holiday classic is filled with hits like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas," and featuring all of your favorite characters including Santa, 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.

Because of his shiny nose, Rudolph doesn't feel like he belongs in Christmastown and sets off to find a place that accepts him. Along his journey, he encounters fellow misfits, only to realize that home is where he has belonged the whole time. When a storm threatens to keep Santa's sleigh from taking flight, what makes Rudolph different turns out to be what helps him save Christmas!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer plays through December 22 at the indoor Hafen Theatre.
