Families are
invited to enjoy a little extra holiday cheer this season as the Center for Puppetry Arts
celebrates the 2017 run of Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer™ with festive weekend events!
First up, guests can kick off the holiday season with a
tasty treat on Saturday,
November 11. Famed Atlanta chef (and former "Top Chef" contestant) Kevin Gillespie
will be at the Center dressed as his doppelgänger Yukon Cornelius. Patrons are invited to join Chef Gillespie and the Yukon Cornelius
puppet for a holiday photo opportunity. In addition, the Center’s
special guest chef will be serving up samplings of his signature Warm
Embrace Hot Cocoa and guests will have the opportunity purchase a can
of the hot chocolate mix to take home as a holiday gift. The event will
take place from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and is free with paid admission.
 On the evening of Saturday,
November 11, the Center will present another beloved
holiday classic: a screening of “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas” at 7
p.m. in the Mainstage Theater. In this 1977 Jim Henson film, Ma and
Emmet Otter enter a talent competition to win money to fund their
Christmas gift-giving. This screening was added to the line-up due to
popular demand after the December showing sold out. Tickets include
admission to the Worlds
of Puppetry Museum, and beer and wine will be for sale. Tickets are $12.50 for nonmembers and free for Members.
On Saturday,
November 18, the model builders from LEGOLAND® Discovery Center
Atlanta will be at the Center for a special holiday
LEGO® build activity, where guests can make and take home a special
holiday-themed LEGO build. This special event is from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
and free with paid admission, while supplies last.
Families attending Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer™ on Saturday, November 25, can
enjoy a very special, free holiday photo opportunity with one of the
puppets from the show! Don’t forget to bring a camera because the Rudolph lineup
makes a great holiday photo.
Big news! LEGO Rudolph is returning to the Center for
Puppetry Arts’ lobby beginning Thursday,
November 30! The Rudolph statue is built out of LEGO
bricks courtesy of our friends at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Atlanta.
Finally, the Center for Puppetry Arts will have a float
filled with fan-favorite puppets during the 2017 Children’s Healthcare
of Atlanta Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 2!
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is
recommended for ages 4 and up. All-inclusive tickets to all shows
include entrance to the Create-A-Puppet Workshop™, where guests can
make, decorate, and perform with their own King Moonracer™ Rod &
String Puppet, as well as admission to the Worlds of Puppetry
Museum (with the largest collection of Jim Henson puppets and artifacts
in the world as well as a Global Gallery). Special events are included
at no extra charge with paid admission.
