The 28th Annual Christmas Revels
A Festive Start to the Holiday Season
|
 Join us for the show that The Washington Post says
"... should be part of every family's holiday festivities."
Travel to a 19th-century English village to mark the Winter Solstice. We'll celebrate an English Country Christmas with traditional carols, anthems, rounds, country dancing, and a hilarious mummer's play.
Join the acclaimed Revels company (more than 75 performers, ages 8 to 80) to explore Thomas Hardy's beloved (if fictional) Wessex and the charming village of Mellstock. This year's guest artists, The Mellstock Band, come from England with a wonderful collection of string and wind instruments, including the haunting "serpent," a snake-like ancestor of the tuba. You'll also find Revels favorites Foggy Bottom Morris Men, Cutting Edge Sword Dancers, and our ever-delightful brass band.
8 PERFORMANCES:
December 4-5 & 10-12 (matinees and evenings)
Lisner Auditorium, 21st and H Streets NW, Washington DC>> Learn more and purchase tickets online
