Description
Revels interactive performances feature the song, dance, musical, and storytelling traditions of different and diverse cultures. We blend these elements into seasonal celebrations that demonstrate how differing cultures throughout the ages are fed by the same great river of myth, story, and song.
Professional singers, dancers, and musicians and community members young and old join together to form the cast and chorus of Revels Houston's productions. Each year, a different country or culture is the focus of our December production. We are truly multicultural - in both the content of our production as well as the diversity of our performers.
Revels is a living tradition that bonds all participants -- audiences, performers, and volunteers -- together as companions in celebration. Revels comes from the community, for the community.
We are proud to be one of twelve Revels companies throughout the United States. Revels, Inc. is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where it all began.
The Organization Revels Houston Inc. was incorporated in 1990 under the law of the state of Texas as a non-profit organization. It is affiliated with Revels, Inc. based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which was founded in 1970 by John Langstaff to promote public education, understanding, and appreciation of traditional music, dance, drama, and ritual through the medium of participatory theater and communal celebration. All Revels organizations share Revels' artistic resources but are established as separate not-for-profit entities with independent boards.
