THE CHRISTMAS REVELS

Get Your Tickets for the 28th Christmas Revels Show December 4-5 & 10-12!

We travel to novelist Thomas Hardy's beloved "Wessex" to the little town of Mellstock in the countryside of nineteenth-century England. We'll celebrate an English Country Christmas with traditional carols, anthems, rounds, country dancing, and a hilarious mummer's play. 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.

All performances take place at Lisner Auditorium in Washington, DC. Tickets go on sale to the public on Monday, October 4 – but you can order early if you donate by October 3 – Donors of $100 or more receive early ticket priority to the 2010 Christmas Revels and a discount on ticket fees. Donors of $500 or more receive top ticket priority, a waiver of all ticket fees, two complimentary tickets to the 2010 Christmas Revels, plus free admission to any other Revels program.
