Rough Night at the North Pole tells the story of a naughty little boy named Noodle and his reluctant companion, Missy, who go to the North Pole to get even with Santa Claus for coal left in his stocking the prior Christmas.

"A show like this is great because everyone loves the holidays, so lots of community members can come out and bring their children to see the performance,” said Drapalski, “Sophanes feels that it is extremely important to get children involved with the performing arts. We are excited to introduce them to theatre."
Co-sponsored by the Student Organization for Activity Planning, no reservations are required. The audience is encouraged to bring toys for Toys for Tots in addition to monetary donations.
