Audition Central: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer JR.

Script: Donner

​SIDE 1

DONNER

We'll - we'll call him Rudolph.

MRS. DONNER

Rudolph is a lovely name. Rudolph.

(YOUNG RUDOLPH runs onto the stage into his parents' arms.)

DONNER

Hey! He knows his name already.

YOUNG RUDOLPH

Pa-pa. Ma-ma.

(YOUNG RUDOLPH's nose glows. Each time it glows there is accompanying sound effect.)

MRS. DONNER

He's - he's got a shiny nose!

DONNER

Shiny? I'd even say it glows!

MRS. DONNER

Well - we'll simply have to overlook it.

DONNER

How can you overlook that? His beak blinks like a blinkin' beacon!

SIDE 2

SAM

Well, for the first year, the Donners did a pretty good job of hiding Rudolph's... uh... non-conformity. Donner taught Rudolph all the ins and outs of being a reindeer...

DONNER

This way Rudolph. Right over here.

YOUNG RUDOLPH

Right behind you Daddy.

DONNER

You see Rudolph - here at the edge of the forest is the best place to find food.

YOUNG RUDOLPH

Mmmmm. That's good.

DONNER

Back to training my boy.

YOUNG RUDOLPH

Sure Daddy.

DONNER

Remember, keep your base low when you are getting ready to charge. It's all about leverage.

YOUNG RUDOLPH

Leverage. Got it.
