A holiday tradition for more than 3 decades, The Christmas Revels returns to Dartmouth College's Hopkins Center December 17th for 6 performances of theater, music and dance in celebration of the winter solstice. Directed by Maureen Burford, Assitant Music Director Lindsey Warren and Mummer's Director Effie Cummings, The Christmas Revels take us to Scotland with its cool glens and craggy peaks, pipers and fiddlers, heather and mist, where clans are gathered to bring in the new year. An unexpected visitor arrives to enliven the holiday celebrations, but is more welcome to some than others! Our exceptional 80-person cast includes The Reekie Singers, The Revels Bairns (our children's chorus), soloist Lindsey Warren, internationally known tradition bearers Laura Risk and Lissa Schneckenburger on fiddles, Natalie Haas on cello, and Gordon and Lezlie Webster (and son Campbell) on highland pipes, as well as local favorites: harpist Patricia Stebbins, accordionist Jeremiah McLane, award-winning highland dancers Camille Ames, Jillian Peters, and Marielle Webster, Maple Leaf and Green Mountain Morris teams, and the Heritage Brass Quintet. We'll have you singing and dancing in the aisles, as we celebrate both high art and low, including a slapstick "Guisers" play, exquisite music from the 18th and 19th centuries, fairy tales, legends, and the poetry of Robert Burns. Join the fun for Revels North's 35th production of The Christmas Revels—an Upper Valley tradition!
