Christmas
Revels This winter, "The Christmas Revels: In Celebration of the Winter Solstice" travels to Thomas Hardy’s beloved Wessex to celebrate the season with familiar carols, anthems and rounds, country dances, West Gallery music, a seriously funny mummers play, morris dancing, and lots of old favorites in novel settings. Presented
at Sanders Theatre in Harvard Square from December
12 - 30, the production is directed by Patrick Swanson
with musical direction by George Emlen. Free Parking
for "Christmas Revels" patrons is available at the nearby Broadway
Garage. Joining them will be Revel's own lusty Village Quire,
the feisty Casterbridge Children, The Pinewoods
Morris Men, Cambridge Symphonic Brass Ensemble,
actor Richard Snee, musician Bruce Randall,
soloist Mary Casey, and musician and song leader David
Coffin. Founded in 1971 by musician and educator John Langstaff, Revels produces large-scale seasonal and community celebrations drawing on traditional music, dance, rituals, and folktales from around the world. This year, productions of "The Christmas Revels: In Celebration of the Winter Solstice" will be presented in: Cambridge, MA; Hanover, NH; Houston, TX; Tacoma, WA; Washington, DC; Oakland and Santa Barbara, CA; Portland, OR; and Boulder, Colorado. Revels also produces the annual "SummersDay Revels" in Boston with the Friends of Fort Point Channel as well as the annual "RiverSing" along the Charles River in Boston and Cambridge, in collaboration with the Charles River Conservancy.
