RUDOLPH THE RED-HOSED REINDEER, the irreverent parody of the 1967 Rankin Bass children’s television special, follows Rudolph and all of his misfit friends as they struggle with fitting in and being ‘normal’ in an increasingly abnormal world. Playwright David Cerda always adjusts the show to fit the current social climate.

RUDOLPH THE RED-HOSED REINDEER runs November 25 – December 30, 2017 at Mary’s Attic, 5400 N. Clark St. in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. For more information visit  www.handbagproductions.org.
