- STOMP, November 2
The international percussion sensation STOMP uses everything but conventional percussion instruments to fill the stage with a compelling and unique act. A unique combination of percussion, movement, and visual comedy, STOMP has created its own inimitable, contemporary form of rhythmic expression: both household and industrial objects find new life as musical instruments in the hands of an idiosyncratic band of body percussionists. Join us for a journey through sound, dance, and drum.

Following six successful years of touring and more than 600 live performances, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer returns to the stage and features a holly, jolly cast of iconic characters, including Hermey the Elf, Yukon Cornelius, and the Abominable Snow Monster to help Santa save Christmas. Nostalgic set design, projections, costumes, and characters bring the 1964 stop-motion classic to life, recreating the magic of Christmas through talented cast members and puppeteers.
