"A newborn reindeer? And I’m the midwife?!
This is gonna be the Best Christmas Ever!"
About the Play
Twelve-year-old Ruby lives on a dairy farm with her single dad Dave. When an unruly reindeer appears in their barn one December day, it sets Ruby on a path to uncover family secrets, play holiday matchmaker, and save Christmas!
Adult Ruby looks back to one special Christmas in 1989, bringing holiday nostalgia to a new generation.
Ruby and the Reindeer is a family-friendly holiday comedy about children and parents, letting go of the past, and the Magic of Christmas.
