Audition Central: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer JR.
Script: Young Rudolph
​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.
