After a difficult pandemic year, it was great to be back at Tacoma's Rialto Theater for our 2021 Christmas Revels, set in Québec. Check out this CityLine interview about the show with BJ Douglas, Ben Hunter and Bill Johns. They will fill you with JOY!
The show featured Bill Johns, Benjamin Hunter, Brad Reynolds along with the Revels Adult and Children's Choruses, the Seattle Brass Ensemble, dancer and instrumentalist Cil Pierce, and dancer Jim Rymsza. Storytelling; toe-tapping tunes; high energy clogging; the rousing and poignant songs of les voyageurs; Le Temps des Fêtes (a time that includes both the solemn and beautiful songs of Christmas Eve and the boisterous, secular songs of the new year); a flying canoe; and a hasty bargain with the devil that creates a tricky predicament.
