THE CHRISTMAS REVELS, Dec. 19th & 20th: Sing, laugh, and dance along with us as we revel in our 19th annual celebration of Christmas and the Winter Solstice, set in the colorful market place and music hall of Victorian England. Get ready for great music: favorite carols, bawdy ballads, and touching laments. Clap along to rollicking dancing and fancy footwork. Relish the theatrics of a mummer’s play and a ghostly melodrama.

Our 2025 Show

The Celestial Fools ~ A Magical Winter’s Tale

THE CHRISTMAS REVELS:  Mystical visitors from the East – the Sun, Moon, and Stars – visit a mythical village somewhere in Europe, bringing vibrant color, music, and story along with a glimpse of life and a world view unimagined by these simple folks. Hearts and minds are opened to a new perspective and the light of a New Year is restored.


See the 2025 Gallery page for more photos.
