Christmas Revels

Scottish Rite Center - Auditorium
1547 Lakeside Drive Oakland

A Bay Area holiday family tradition for nearly three decades, Christmas Revels is a joyous production that welcomes the return of the light back from the darkness of winter with a hearty, vibrant celebration. This year's production tackles an American theme for the first time in many years. The 2014 Revels opens in 1930s Appalachia with stops in Louisiana and westward. It's a crazy quilt of many colors representing the fabric of the holiday traditions many of us still share. Filled with Cajun music, Appalachian clogging, folk tales and holiday rituals, this year's Revels are packed with American carols and folk songs, music and plenty of laughter. As always, the chorus of adults, teens and children will add to the warmth, along with storytelling and performances by accomplished guest artists.
