A Glorious May Day at Audubon!
We've "brought in the May"! Revels ushered in the
glorious
month of May in grand style at our May Revels on Sunday. A great time
was had
by all, as
can be
clearly seen in a number of wonderful photos.

Festival Day on May 16, 1:00-5:00pm
Rachel Carson Meadow Festival
|
 Picnic
and perform with Washington
Revels in
celebration
of a neighborhood park. We
gather,
rehearse, and perform a "mini-Revels" all in one half-day -- no auditions or experience
necessary! Come by yourself, with a friend, or bring the whole family -- all ages
welcome. You must register online by May 12 to select
your performance or production
activity. Adults and youth (13 and older) can choose from chorus, country dance, mummers' play, band, crafting, or just lending a hand throughout the day. Children (ages 6-12) may either learn and perform their
own
set, or work on props and decorations (please note: a parent must accompany children
ages
6-7 during activities; parents are responsible for supervising
children
ages 5 and under). |
Adult Chorus Auditions, May 28-29
2010-2011 Washington Revels Season
|
 Audition
for three productions in the 2010-2011 season: The Christmas Revels, 'Songs of
the Sea and Shore,' and new Civil War-era (including African-American)
programs. While
Revels uses some professional performers, our volunteer choruses --
adults, teens and children -- are the core. Many veteran singers return to
audition each
year, but we
always
value the presence of new performers. We look for a variety
of ages,
ancestries, sizes and personalities to create a realistic "village"
on stage. People of diverse cultural backgrounds are encouraged to
audition. AUDITION APPOINTMENT REQUIRED. >> Read more about the audition process and preparation |
