| An established cultural institution in the greater Washington area for over 40 years, Washington Revels is dedicated to reviving, sustaining, expanding, and celebrating cultural traditions — in music, dance, storytelling, and drama — that bind people together in spirit and joy. Staged or informal, large or small, Revels celebrations involve adults and children of all ages, mixing professionals and nonprofessionals. Audience participation is a hallmark: singing, dancing or becoming part of the drama, Revels audiences are always an integral part of the productions. Whether participating in a Revels celebration from the audience or stage, people invariably leave with smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts. |
Step into a dazzling celebration of light, music, and community as Washington Revels presents its beloved holiday tradition, this year exploring the rich cultural tapestry of medieval Spain. Andalusian Treasures weaves together Jewish, Arabic, and Spanish songs, dances, and stories in a magical journey that follows three adventurers on a quest to rekindle a vanished light.
Featuring traditional musicians Trio Sefardi, and welcoming Laith Alattar, Ali Bandeali, and Abderrahim Amthqal, with the Revels chorus and children, this joyous, family-friendly production blends live music, vibrant costumes, and audience sing-alongs into an unforgettable theatrical experience at the Montgomery College Cultural Arts Center in Silver Spring, December 12–20.
