The darkest time of the year casts a powerful spell over nearly every culture in the northern hemisphere and has given birth to countless ways of celebrating the winter solstice.  Many of our present-day holiday rituals in this country originate in the Nordic/German traditions and come flavored with the spices of Europe.  We invite you to take  a little journey with us to Bavaria and the surrounding regions at Yuletide to explore the roots of modern Christmas with song, dance, storytelling and the blessings of children and laughter.

The Christmas Revels will be performed at the classic, intimate and lovely theatre right at the top of Museum Mile on 5th Avenue.  This is not only a theater that is perfect for Revels, it is an organization whose mission we support and with whom opportunities exist for ongoing collaboration in the performance and preservation of traditional material.
